Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 centimes (Projet hybride en acier inoxydable de Joly, grand module) ND (1964) from France made of Stainless steel weighing 8.9 g is that it was designed by French engineer and inventor, Jean Joly, who was known for his work in the field of metallurgy and coinage. The coin was part of a series of experimental coins created by Joly in the 1960s, which were designed to test the durability and resistance of different metals and alloys for use in coinage. The stainless steel used in this coin was a unique choice for coinage at the time and reflects Joly's innovative approach to coin design.
