Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Francs (trial of Louis-Oscar Roty) 1898 from France is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin was created as a trial piece for a new 5 franc coin, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
