Comment
This copper test is rarer than the tin test. Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centimes coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Jacques Barre, and features a portrait of a young woman representing the French Republic. The coin was minted in 1849 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. Despite this, the coin has become a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its unique design and historical significance.
