| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '2' in large relief dominates the upper-central field, with the word CENTIMES inscribed directly below in bold capital letters. Beneath this, the word ESSAI appears flanked by decorative arrow motifs, and BARRE is inscribed below, identifying the engraver responsible for this trial piece. The circular legend LIBERTÉ * ÉGALITÉ * FRATERNITÉ runs along the full periphery, separated by a single five-pointed star at the top and interrupted by stars at the sides. A beaded inner border frames the entire reverse composition. |
