Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Centimes Daniel-Dupuis (Pré-série en bronze argenté, légende large) 1897 from France is that it was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Daniel-Dupuis, and features a unique blend of silver and bronze materials. The coin's obverse side showcases the profile of a young woman wearing a Phrygian cap, symbolizing liberty, while the reverse side features a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the coin's denomination. This particular coin is a rare and valuable variation of the standard 10 centimes coin, with only a limited number of pre-series coins minted in silver-clad bronze. Its unique design and rarity make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
