Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centimes coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Jacques Barre, and features a portrait of a young woman representing the Republic of France. The coin was minted in 1848, a time of great political and social change in France, and was intended to be a new design for the 10 centimes coin, which was first introduced in 1803. However, the coin was never officially adopted and was instead produced as a pattern coin, which is a trial coin produced to test a new design or metal composition. Today, the Pattern 10 Centimes coin is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
