| Obverse description | Laureate head of King Charles X facing left, rendered in fine relief in the neoclassical style. The king's effigy displays a laurel wreath upon his head, with carefully detailed hair and facial features characteristic of Tiolier's engraving. The legend CHARLES X ROI DE FRANCE arcs around the periphery. The engraver's cursive signature N. Tiolier appears below the truncation of the bust. The overall portrait conveys a formal, regal quality consistent with official French Restoration coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central denomination displayed in three lines within an open wreath of olive branches: the numeral '2' at the top, 'CENTIMES' below, and '1/2' beneath that, flanked by the anchor mint mark on the left and the letter 'A' (Paris Mint) on the right. The word 'ESSAI' appears below, confirming the pattern status of this piece. The wreath is tied at the base with a small ornamental knot. The overall layout is clean and well-centered within a milled border, consistent with Tiolier's precise engraving standards. |
