Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 centimes Daniel-Dupuis was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Daniel-Dupuis, and features a unique reversed design, with the coin's denomination (10 centimes) displayed prominently on the obverse, while the reverse features a wreath surrounding the French Republic's motto, "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité." This design was unusual for its time and was not ultimately adopted for circulation, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item.
