Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Décime coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Pierre Barre, and was minted in 1839. It features a unique pattern on the reverse side, known as the "Barre and Tiolier" design, which was created by Barre and his colleague, Alphonse Tiolier. The pattern consists of a series of interlocking circles and arrows, which give the coin a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. This design was intended to be used on the French 1 décime coin, but it was ultimately not adopted for circulation. As a result, the Pattern 1 Décime coin is a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
