Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 centimes Daniel-Dupuis (Epreuve en laiton) 1910 is a rare and unique coin, with only 500 pieces minted. It was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Daniel-Dupuis, and features a distinctive laurel wreath surrounding the coin's denomination. The use of brass as the material for the coin was a departure from the traditional silver or gold used for French coins at the time, and was likely chosen for its durability and affordability. Despite its relatively low value, the coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
