Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 centimes coin was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Louis-Oscar Roty, who was also responsible for creating the famous "Sower" design that appeared on French coins during the early 20th century. The coin's design features a stylized portrait of a young woman representing the Republic of France, surrounded by a wreath of olive branches and the motto "LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity). The coin's reverse side features a stylized image of a Gallic rooster, which is a symbol of France, standing on a bundle of wheat and surrounded by the coin's denomination and mintage year. Overall, the Pattern 10 centimes coin is a beautiful and rare piece of numismatic history that showcases the artistic and cultural heritage of France during the early 20th century.
