Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes coin from Montagnac was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Auguste-Louis Boucher-Desfresne. He was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his designs often featured images of famous French figures and landmarks. In this case, the 10 Centimes coin features an image of a woman representing the Commune of Montagnac, surrounded by vines and grapes, which is fitting given the region's reputation for wine production.
