Comment
This coin was minted in gold (instead of copper) as a module of 10 centimes, but has the reverse image on both sides.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Centimes (Pattern; error) ND (1853) from Belgium made of Gold weighing 19.4g is that it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. It is considered a pattern coin, meaning it was struck as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design, but it was never officially released into circulation. The error in the coin's design, which is not clearly specified, adds to its rarity and value. As a result, this coin is highly prized among collectors of rare and unusual coins.
