| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination 10 FRANCS in bold raised numerals and lettering within a square cartouche set on its corner as a lozenge, itself inscribed within a circle of fine geometric arabesque ornament. The word ESSAI appears in small letters beneath the denomination, confirming the trial or pattern status of the piece. The Latin legend MAROC arcs prominently along the upper border, while the Arabic inscription المغرب (Al-Maghrib) runs along the lower border in decorative Thuluth script. Stylized foliate and geometric motifs fill the surrounding field, creating an overall design of exceptional intricacy characteristic of the Monnaie de Paris's orientalist engraving tradition. |
