Comment
Usually, the 50 centime, 1 franc or 2 franc coins engraved by Morlon always have the portrait looking to the left. Here, it looks to the right Interesting fact
This coin was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Louis-Oscar Roty, who was also responsible for creating the iconic "Sower" design that appears on many French coins. The Pattern 50 Centimes coin features a unique hybrid design that combines elements of both the Morlon and Hybride patterns, making it a rare and interesting piece for collectors.
