Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 100 Francs - Louis Philippe (Pattern) 1831 from France made of Bronze plated tin weighing 24.55g is that it was designed by the French engraver and medalist, Jean-Pierre Montagny. Montagny was a prominent artist of his time and his work can be found in several museums and collections around the world. This coin, in particular, features a portrait of Louis Philippe, the King of the French, on one side and an allegorical scene representing France on the other. The coin's design is considered a great example of French numismatic art from the 19th century.
