Comment
1958 competition.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 40 Francs (Pattern) ND (1958) from French Equatorial Africa (Central African States) made of Aluminium bronze weighing 8 g is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin was minted as a pattern, or trial coin, to test the design and production process, but it was ultimately not chosen for widespread use. This makes it a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of African currency.
