Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Centimes coin from France, designed by Pillard and featuring the reverse Gayrard, was part of a series of trial coins minted in 1848. These coins were created to test new designs and materials, and were not meant for circulation. As a result, they are now highly sought after by collectors and are considered rare and valuable.
