Interesting fact
The Thuillié Decime module 1796 from France made of Bronze weighing 18.82 g is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is considered a pattern coin, meaning it was struck as a trial or sample, and not intended for circulation. The coin features a unique design, with a pattern of leaves and flowers on the obverse (front) side, and a wreath surrounding the denomination on the reverse (back) side. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a prized addition to any collection of French numismatics.
