Interesting fact
The Pattern 1000 Francs (Pattern) 1949 from Belgium made of Brass is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1949 as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample coin to test the design and production process. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
