Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Francs (Gold trial) 1951 from France made of Gold weighing 14.31 g is a rare and valuable coin, with only 500 pieces minted. It was designed by the French sculptor and engraver, Albert Decaris, and features the iconic image of a Gallic rooster on one side and the French Republic's motto, "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" on the other. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and collectors of French coins.
