| Reverse description | The reverse of this holed essai displays the denomination '10' in large bold numerals to the left of the central perforation, with 'Cent' inscribed to its right. Elaborate decorative foliage and wheat ear motifs fill the upper and lower fields, framing the central design in a symmetrical arrangement. The engraver's signature H.VARENNE and the word ESSAI appear in the lower field, confirming the trial piece status of this striking. The overall composition is divided into quadrants by two horizontal lines crossing the central hole, creating a structured geometric framework typical of Varenne's centimes essai designs. |
