Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centimes coin from France, designed by Pillard and minted in 1848, features a unique reverse design that showcases a stunning allegorical scene. The reverse depicts a woman representing the French Republic, surrounded by symbols of agriculture, industry, and commerce. This design was created by Jean-Jacques Moullé, a prominent French engraver and medalist, and it was meant to represent the country's commitment to liberty, equality, and fraternity. The coin's design was never adopted for circulation, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
