1945 is a key moment in world history of the 20th century. The final stage of the Second World War and its termination, redrew the world map again. Some state formations disappeared as a result of the war, and some were revived again. Together with them, various signs of statehood were restored, rebuilt, or re-created, among which are coins. Being minted in this dramatic period, some of them were destined to sink into history, and some only had to arise, which led to their wild popularity among numismatists.
In many ways unique is the French coin, released during the interim government of the French Republic, liberated from the German occupation. A coin of 5 francs was issued in the city of Beaumont-les-Rogers. The material of the coinage was aluminum.
1945, was the first year of release of this coin. On the obverse side is a bust of the republic, bordered with a laurel wreath, below which there is an inscription, which is the personal initials of the famous French engraver Andre Henri Lavrier.
The newly formed Socialist Yugoslavia first of all took care of the creation of the national currency. One of the results of this process is the creation of a Yugoslav coin worth 50 pairs. It was made of zinc and minted on a regular basis.
Interestingly interesting is an aluminum coin of 5 centimo dignity issued by the Madrid Mint of Spain, during the reign of the dictator Franco.
A rare coin of 25 centimes, issued in the Kingdom of Belgium, which was liberated in 1945, is especially appreciated by coin collectors.
