| Beschrijving voorzijde | Allegorical bust of the Republic facing right, rendered in the naturalistic Art Nouveau style of engraver Daniel Dupuis, with flowing hair adorned with a small floral element at the crown. Flanking the effigy are stylized branches — an olive branch to the left and what appears to be a laurel or civic branch to the right — extending vertically along the portrait. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE curves along the upper periphery, with the date 1896 positioned in the lower field. The flan épais (thick planchet) imparts a pronounced relief to the design, characteristic of a presentation or pattern strike. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a plain, uniformly struck surface with no design, legend, or device, consistent with the nature of this thick-flan pattern (flan épais) piece. The bronze surface displays natural file or lathe marks across the field, which are typical of an unfinished or experimental planchet prepared for trial purposes. No denomination, mint mark, or engraver's signature is present on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Daniel-Dupuis submitted this thick-flan bronze projet in 1896 as part of the competitive process to redesign French small coinage — a process the Third Republic ran with unusual formality, soliciting multiple artists and striking trial pieces before committing to production. Dupuis ultimately won the commission, and his design entered circulation in 1898. What makes the flan épais variant specifically interesting is that it was almost certainly struck for presentation or committee review, not as a production prototype, meaning these pieces passed through official hands before any public ever saw the design.
