Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centimes coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Jacques Dantzell, and was minted in 1848. It features a unique design that showcases the French Republic's motto, "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) on the obverse side, and a wreath of oak leaves and laurel branches surrounding the denomination on the reverse side. The use of tin as the material for this coin was a deliberate choice, as it was a more affordable alternative to other metals at the time, and it also gave the coin a distinctive silver-like appearance. Despite its relatively low value, the Pattern 10 Centimes coin is a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and unique design.
