Interesting fact
This coin features a unique design element: it contains twice the standard weight of a regular 10 francs coin, making it a piedfort variety. The term "piedfort" comes from the French words "pied fort," meaning "strong foot." This type of coin was traditionally made thicker and heavier than standard coins, often for ceremonial purposes or as collector's items.
