| Reverse description | The reverse presents a typographic design centered on the inscription 'ESSAI / PARIS / 1859' in three lines within the field, enclosed by a finely detailed wreath of laurel branches tied at the base with a small ornamental knot. The peripheral legend 'BALANCIERS DES ILES PHILIPPINES' encircles the wreath, separated by a beaded border. A small six-pointed star appears at the base between the legend and the wreath. The design, produced at the Paris Mint, reflects the trial ('essai') nature of this pattern piece, with crisp, deeply struck lettering against an iridescent toned copper field. |
