Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 centimes (Essai piéfort en cupronickel) 1920 is a rare and unique coin, with only 500 pieces minted. It was created as a trial piece, and its design was never adopted for regular circulation. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
