Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centimes coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Jacques Gayrard, and was part of a series of pattern coins created in 1848 for the French government. The coin features a unique design that showcases the French Republic's emblem, the Gallic rooster, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and the coin's denomination, 10 centimes. The use of tin as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to make it more affordable and accessible to the general population, as opposed to using more expensive metals like gold or silver. Despite not being widely circulated, the Pattern 10 Centimes coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in French currency.
