Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Franc (Pattern - French text) 1922 from Belgium made of Gold is a rare and valuable coin, with only 500 pieces minted. It was designed by Belgian artist and engraver, Victor Gillon, and features a portrait of King Albert I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Belgian coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1922, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
