Comment
The same specimen exists in bronze, its Numista sheet is on the catalog. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Francs (pattern of virole with modul of 5 francs by Moreau) ND (1824) from France made of Silver (.900) plated bronze weighing 22.99 g is that it was designed by French engraver and medalist, Augustin-Louis Moreau. Moreau was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were known for their intricate details and beauty. This particular coin features a stunning design of a woman representing France, surrounded by symbols of agriculture and industry, highlighting the country's rich history and culture.
