100 Francs - Louis Philippe I pattern of Caqué

正面描述	Bare-headed bust of Louis Philippe I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curly hair and sideburns, in the neoclassical style characteristic of the July Monarchy. The engraver's signature CAQUE.F appears incuse at the base of the truncation. The circumferential legend reads LOUIS PHILIPPE I to the left and ROI DES FRANÇAIS to the right, divided by a stop at the base. The field is smooth and polished, and the whole is framed by a continuous toothed border.

附加信息	Armand-Augustin Caqué was a die-engraver and passionate advocate for reforming French coinage aesthetics, and his unsolicited pattern submissions to the Monnaie de Paris were a recurring feature of mid-nineteenth century French numismatic production. This 1831 essai was never adopted — the July Monarchy ultimately retained more conservative designs — but Caqué continued submitting proposals for decades, and his rejected patterns now constitute a recognized collecting category in their own right. Tin was the standard material for trial strikes of this period, keeping costs low while still capturing die detail faithfully enough for official review.
