Obverse description Plain round field featuring a large incuse unperforated circular outline at centre, representing the intended but unfilled hole of the proposed coin design. The date 1946 appears in raised numerals at the top of the field, while the legend ESSAI DE FRAPPE is inscribed in three bold raised segments arranged around the lower portion of the field in a triangular disposition. The design is entirely typographic with no effigy or figurative elements, serving purely as a striking test to assess the feasibility of producing a holed coinage.
