Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Décime - Louis Philippe I (pattern of Barre with an modul of 1 decime) 1840 from France made of Bronze weighing 14.50 g is that it was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Pierre Montagny. Montagny was known for his work on various French coins and medals during the 19th century, and his design for the Pattern 1 Décime features a portrait of Louis Philippe I, the King of the French, on the obverse side, and a wreath of laurel leaves and berries on the reverse side. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
