Interesting fact

This coin was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Daniel-Dupuis, and features a unique and intricate pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes a wreath of olive branches surrounding a shield with the number "10" in the center, all surrounded by a decorative border. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the values of the French Republic, including liberty, equality, and fraternity.
