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 social and political 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 only a small number of patterns were struck, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
