Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Euro Cents (1st map - Pattern) 2002 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper-nickel weighing 3.54 g is that it features a unique design that was never actually used in circulation. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins produced by the German mint in the early 2000s, which were intended to test new designs and materials for future coinage. However, the design featuring a map of Germany was ultimately not chosen for production, making these pattern coins a rare and interesting collector's item.
