| Reverse description | The reverse presents the date '1896' prominently in the centre of the field, enclosed within a wreath of olive branches tied at the base, their sprays curving symmetrically to either side. A six-pointed star is positioned at the apex of the wreath above the date. The circular legend 'METAL EXCEL ARGENT' occupies the upper arc of the coin within a beaded border, while the abbreviation 'S. S. C.' appears in the lower segment, flanked by small floral ornaments. The design's restrained, classical layout reflects the essai character of this piece, intended to demonstrate the alloy's properties for potential monetary adoption. |
