Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Centimes (pattern) 3 (1794) from France made of Copper weighing 5.61g is that it was designed by Augustin Dupré, a French engraver and medalist who was known for his work during the French Revolution. The coin features a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath of oak leaves and laurel on the reverse, symbolizing the values of the Revolution. The Pattern 25 Centimes was never officially issued, but it was produced in small quantities as a trial or pattern coin, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
