Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 centimes (Essai en nickel de Dubois) 1905 from France made of Nickel weighing 4g is that it was designed by French engineer and metallurgist, Adolphe Dubois, who was experimenting with different metallic alloys for coinage. This particular coin was made with a unique nickel alloy that was not commonly used in coin production at the time, making it a rare and interesting piece for collectors.
