Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Francs (pattern by Brenet au type adopté par le jury) 11 (1802) from France made of Tin weighing 25.03 g is that it was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Baptiste Brenet. Brenet was a prominent artist during the French Revolution and Napoleonic era, and his work can be found in various museums and collections around the world. This particular coin features a design that was adopted by the jury, and it's interesting to note that the use of tin as a material was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to other metals.
