Comment
Also available in small module (3 g, 19 mm.)Interesting fact
This coin was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Ernest Becker, and it features a unique "big modul" design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The "big modul" design refers to the large, raised dots that are spaced evenly around the coin's circumference, giving it a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. This design was intended to make the coin more easily identifiable and harder to counterfeit.
