| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Marianne, the allegorical personification of the French Republic, rendered in the Art Nouveau style by engraver Daniel Dupuis. Her hair is loosely arranged and partially covered, with fine detail in the drapery at her shoulder. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE surrounds the effigy, with the inscription running along the upper and lateral periphery of the field. The overall design is characteristic of Dupuis's naturalistic and flowing aesthetic. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central decorative motif composed of wheat ears and laurel or oak branches, arranged symmetrically around a central axis in the Art Nouveau manner typical of Dupuis's work. The denomination '5c' and the date '1910' appear in the lower portion of the field, with the Republican motto LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ disposed around the periphery. The design is restrained and elegant, with botanical elements filling the field in low relief. This épreuve in brass serves as a trial or pattern strike distinct from the standard bronze circulation issue. |
