Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Francs - Charles X (Pattern) 1824 from France is that it was designed by the French engraver and medalist, Jean-Baptiste Mercier. Mercier was a prominent artist of his time and was known for his work on various coins and medals, including this particular coin. His design features a portrait of Charles X, the King of France from 1824 to 1830, on the obverse side, and an image of a woman representing France on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1824 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
