Interesting fact

The Pattern 4 Francs - Norodom I (Essai) 1860 from Cambodia, made of Gold weighing 29.56g, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Norodom I, who was the first king of Cambodia and ruled from 1860 to 1904. The coin was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was not meant for circulation but was instead created as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design. This makes it a unique and sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
