Interesting fact
The Pattern 25 Centimes (Pattern) 1915 from Belgium is a rare and unique coin that features a mistake in its design. The coin was minted with an error in the die, resulting in a misprint of the coin's denomination. Instead of displaying the correct denomination of 25 centimes, the coin features the number 50 centimes. This error makes the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
