| Additional information |
Daniel-Dupuis submitted multiple reverse trials for the 10 centimes competition of 1896, and this bronze projet represents the evaluative process the Monnaie de Paris ran before committing to a final type. The selected Dupuis design ultimately entered circulation in 1898 and ran until 1921. Projets of this kind were struck in controlled numbers for committee review, not for circulation, which is why survivors exist almost exclusively in the grades they left the mint.
