Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Franc coin from Belgium is that it was designed by the renowned Belgian artist and sculptor, Victor Rousseau. Rousseau was known for his work in various artistic fields, including sculpture, painting, and numismatics. His design for the Pattern 1 Franc coin features a portrait of King Albert I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Belgian coat of arms. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's unity and strength during a time of political and economic turmoil in Europe.
