Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centimes coin from France, designed by Montagny in 1848, features a unique design element - a stylized letter "A" on the reverse side, which represents the mintmark of the Paris Mint. This coin was part of a series of pattern coins that were never officially circulated, but were instead produced as trial strikes to test the design and production process. Despite its limited mintage, this coin remains a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in French coinage.
