The 5 francs coin of 1940 from France was minted during World War II and represents France with the depiction of Marianne on its obverse side. Marianne, a symbol of freedom and the republic, is typically portrayed as a woman with a Phrygian cap on her head, symbolizing liberty, making her one of the primary symbols of France.
These coins were regularly minted during the Vichy regime when France was under Nazi German occupation. They were used as currency during that time, and their design was relatively typical for French coins of that period.
