| Beschrijving voorzijde | A serpent coiled around a club (massue) surmounted by a fasces or beam, the ensemble serving as allegorical emblems of union, strength, and prudence respectively. The design is rendered in low relief against a plain field. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE runs along the upper periphery. The composition is characteristic of the experimental Republican coinage proposals of the early French Revolutionary period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The massue ("club") reverse design was one of several experimental types explored during the turbulent monetary reorganization of Year II of the Republic, as the Convention struggled to establish a coherent decimal coinage while the country was simultaneously at war on multiple fronts and the assignat was collapsing. This piece never entered circulation — it remained a pattern, one of the casualties of that indecision.
The Mazard R3 rarity rating reflects genuine scarcity, not collector inflation. Very few examples are traceable across major auction records.
