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 created as a trial or pattern coin, and only a small number of them were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction. In fact, in 2017, one of these coins sold for €12,000 (approximately $13,700 USD) at a auction house in Belgium.
