Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 francs (Essai en nickel de Morlon) 1933 from France made of Nickel weighing 12 g is a rare and unique coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1933, but it was not released into circulation until 1950, due to a delay in the production process. This delay led to a limited mintage of only 50,000 coins, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
