25 Sous - George IV Piedfort

正面描述	Entirely typographic design within a raised inner circle, featuring the three-word French inscription arranged across the field in a curved layout. The legend reads 'REÇU' at the top, 'au' in cursive script at centre, and 'TRESOR' at the bottom, conveying the meaning 'Received at the Treasury.' The inner circle is bordered by a wide decorative band of incuse triangular or dentilated ornaments arranged in alternating opposing rows, forming a striking geometric frame. The rim is raised and plain.

附加信息	Piedforts — struck at double or greater thickness on standard dies — were produced almost exclusively as presentation pieces or for official archive sets, never entering circulation. This example from 1822 predates Mauritius's first regular bronze coinage by several decades; the island was still operating largely on a chaotic mix of French colonial currency and imported Spanish, Dutch, and English pieces. The piedfort almost certainly served an administrative rather than commercial purpose, likely struck for submission to London or for a colonial governor's records.
