Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Centimes Cérès (Epreuve en maillechort) 1883 from France made of Nickel silver weighing 2.5g is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin was created as a pattern, or prototype, to test the design and production process, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. As a result, the Pattern 2 Centimes Cérès is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
