Dorado - interesting selection!

For the UK, 1920 was the year the silver coinage was debased from 92.5% to 50% fine.

Set of UK coins from farthing to halfcrown:

Nice coins from everyone and everywhere!

1920 indeed marked a shift in French money issues. Not only did silver go out of the lower denominations, the lowest denomination of them all, the 1 centime, saw its last year in 1920. (In the old franc system, that is. After the 100-to-1 revaluation of the franc in 1960, it was back again.)

France 1920, 1 centime:

Sweden minted gold coins regularly until 1902. After that, only two more issues were made (excepting commemorative issues): 5 kronor in 1920 and 20 kronor in 1925.

Sweden 1920, 5 kronor:
