100 Francs - Louis Philippe Pattern

正面描述	Bare-headed bust of King Louis-Philippe I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair falling in natural curls. The engraver's name MONTAGNY appears at the truncation. A circular legend reads LOUIS PHILIPPE I ROI DES FRANÇAIS around the periphery, interrupted by the portrait. The portrait is executed in a neoclassical style characteristic of Montagny's work, with a strong, idealized profile typical of the early July Monarchy coinage competition.

附加信息	This is an essai struck in tin to test the proposed 100 francs design early in Louis-Philippe's July Monarchy, the government that emerged from the three-day revolution of July 1830 that ousted Charles X. Pattern coinage in base metal was standard Parisian Mint practice for evaluating dies before committing to gold production. The 100 francs denomination itself was never issued for general circulation under Louis-Philippe, making approved patterns the only physical record of the type's intended execution.
