Interesting fact
The Pattern 100 Francs coin was designed by French sculptor and engraver Henri Dropsy and features a portrait of a young woman representing the French Republic. The coin was minted in 1929 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of gold and has a diameter of 37mm. Despite its status as a pattern coin, it is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
