Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Centimes coin from France, designed by Marrel in 1848, was intended to be a new design for the 10 centimes coin, but it was ultimately not adopted for circulation. Instead, it remained a pattern coin, which makes it a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
