Interesting fact
This coin was designed by the French sculptor and engraver, Albert Guzman, and it features a unique pattern that was never adopted as an official coin design. The obverse of the coin depicts the profile of a young woman, representing the Republic of France, while the reverse features a stylized image of a tree, symbolizing growth and prosperity. The coin's design was meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Third French Republic, but it was ultimately never released into circulation. As a result, only a small number of pattern coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
