Overview
The reverse features the numeral '10' and 'CENTIMES' framed by an olive branch and an ear of wheat, with the French motto 'LIBERTÉ • ÉGALITÉ • FRATERNITÉ' along the top rim.
Historical significance
Introduced as part of the re-valuation of the French Franc (the 'Nouveau Franc') starting in 1960. This design, featuring Marianne by Henri Lagriffoul on the obverse, was used until the transition to the Euro in 2002.
Estimated value
$0.10 - $1.00 USD (in circulated condition)
Care & preservation
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity to prevent copper spots or oxidation. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals, as this will destroy the coin's natural patina and reduce its collector value.
