France 10 centimes Second Republic Pattern Boivin Maz-1310 SP 64 PCGS coin 1848

The France 10 Centimes Second Republic Pattern Boivin Maz-1310 SP64 PCGS Coin 1848 is an exceptional pattern issue created during the birth of the French Second Republic, one of the most significant political transitions in 19th-century France. Struck in copper and certified PCGS SP64 (Specimen), this rare pattern represents an experimental design by engraver P. Boivin before the adoption of regular circulation coinage. The obverse features the elegant left-facing allegorical bust of the Republic, wearing a laurel and olive wreath with flowing hair gathered by ribbons. The finely engraved portrait is surrounded by a beaded border, while the engraver’s signature appears below the neck. The reverse displays the denomination 10 Centimes and the date 1848, enclosed within a beautifully detailed wreath composed of olive and oak branches tied with a decorative ribbon, symbolizing peace, strength, and national unity. Pattern coins such as this were produced in limited numbers for evaluation, making them especially desirable to collectors. With its historical importance, artistic quality, Specimen finish, and PCGS SP64 certification, this coin is a superb addition to any advanced collection of French patterns or classic European numismatics.
