Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Francs coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Jacques Barre, and features a portrait of a young woman representing the French Republic, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and the motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) on the obverse. The reverse side of the coin depicts a shield with the French national emblem, a Gallic rooster, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and the coin's denomination. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
