Interesting fact

The Pattern 1000 Francs (Pattern) 1970 from Cameroon is a rare coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1970 as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a trial 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.
