Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Centimes 1930 from Belgium is that it was designed by the renowned Belgian artist and sculptor, Victor Rousseau. Rousseau was known for his work in various artistic fields, including sculpture, painting, and numismatics. He was commissioned by the Belgian government to design several coins, including this pattern coin, which features a beautiful depiction of a Belgian woman on the obverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's rich history and culture, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
