Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Francs (pattern of Bazor) 1929 coin was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Louis-Oscar Roty. Roty was a prominent artist during the early 20th century and was known for his work on various coins, medals, and banknotes. The coin's design features a stylized portrait of a woman representing France, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and the motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) inscribed at the bottom. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the values of the French Republic and was intended to be used as a regular circulating coin, but it was ultimately never released into circulation. Instead, only a small number of pattern coins were struck in 1929, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
