Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centimes coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Jacques Barre, and features a depiction of a young woman representing the French Republic, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and the motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) on the obverse side. The reverse side shows the denomination "10 Centimes" surrounded by a decorative border. This coin was minted in 1848 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design. It is made of copper and is a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
