| Beschrijving keerzijde | A central fasces-style torch rises vertically in the field, flanked symmetrically by two crossed branches — an olive branch to the left and an oak branch to the right — arranged in saltire. The monogram R F appears prominently in large letters on either side of the torch. Below, the denomination CENT FRANCS is inscribed in two lines, with the date 1929 beneath. The word ESSAI appears vertically to the right in the field, denoting the essay or trial strike status. A cornucopia mintmark and the mint director's mark flank the date. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
In the late 1920s, France was actively searching for a viable base-metal replacement for its worn and depleted silver franc coinage — a consequence of wartime requisitions and post-war monetary instability. The Monnaie de Paris commissioned multiple designers to submit competing patterns, and Guilbert's submission entered a crowded field that included proposals from Lindauer, Bazor, and others. Most never advanced beyond trial strikes.
The "var." notation against VG#5219 suggests this piece deviates from the catalogued standard — likely in edge treatment, metal batch, or die state — and such variants from pattern series of this period are rarely documented with any precision.
