Interesting fact
The Pattern 2½ Yen - Meiji (Copper pattern) 3 (1870) from Japan made of Copper is a rare and highly sought-after coin among collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed by a French engraver named Charles-François Feuillet de Conches, who was hired by the Japanese government to create a new currency system for the country. This coin features an image of a phoenix on one side and the Japanese imperial crest on the other, and it was intended to be used as a pattern for a new coinage system that was never actually implemented. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them extremely valuable to collectors today.
