Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 centimes (Epreuve en maillechort de Dubois) 1905 from France made of Nickel silver weighing 4.2 g is that it was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Louis-Oscar Roty. Roty was known for his work on various French coins and medals, and his design for the 10 centimes coin features a stylized image of a woman representing the French Republic, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and the coin's denomination. The coin's design was unique for its time and continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
