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 olive branches and the motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) on the obverse side. On the reverse side, the coin features the denomination "10 Centimes" and a stylized image of a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
