Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Centimes Daniel-Dupuis (Epreuve en bronze, tranche cannelée) coin from France, made of Bronze and weighing 10g, is that it features a unique reverse design that was not ultimately adopted for the regular issue coin. The reverse of the pattern coin depicts a stylized bundle of grain, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, while the regular issue coin features a more traditional design of a seated figure representing the Republic. This pattern coin offers a fascinating glimpse into the design process and the evolution of coinage.
