Comment

Interesting fact

This coin was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Oscar Roty, who was known for his work on various French coins and medals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of a young woman representing the Republic of France, while the reverse depicts a stylized image of a tree branch with leaves and a bird perched on it, symbolizing prosperity and growth. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
