Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Francs (1801) from France is that it features a unique design element known as the "Gengembre module," which was a technique used by the engraver, Jaley, to create intricate patterns on the coin's surface. This module is visible on the coin's obverse, where it forms the background of the central image. The use of this technique adds an extra layer of detail and beauty to the coin, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
