Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Francs - Louis Philippe (Pattern) ND (1830) 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 Louis Philippe, the King of the French, on the obverse side, and an allegorical image of France on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the new monarchy and its connection to the ideals of the French Revolution.
