Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centime coin was designed by a French engraver named Alphée Dubois, who was commissioned by the Romanian government to create a new coinage system for the country. Dubois' design features a unique blend of Romanian and French influences, with the obverse side bearing the image of a young woman representing the allegory of Agriculture, and the reverse side featuring a stylized depiction of a sheaf of wheat. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it remains a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and unique design.
