| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing draped bust of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with flowing hair, set within an inner beaded border. The engraver's signature 'Dupré' appears in the lower field beneath the truncation. The circular legend 'REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' runs along the periphery in raised Latin lettering, divided on either side of the effigy. The design is characteristic of Augustin Dupré's neoclassical style, reflecting the iconography of the First French Republic. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dupré centime was among the first coins issued under France's new decimal system, introduced by the Revolutionary government to replace the chaotic pre-metric livre system. Augustin Dupré, the engraver responsible, had previously survived imprisonment during the Terror — he was scheduled for execution when Robespierre's own fall in Thermidor intervened.
Early strikings of this type are frequently found with poor surface quality, a consequence of the Paris Mint operating under severe resource and administrative strain during the Directoire period.
