| Obverse description | Plain, unadorned field bearing the circular legend 'MONNAIE DE PARIS' arranged along the full periphery of the coin. The inscription is rendered in raised capital Latin letters without any central device or effigy, reflecting the purely functional nature of this striking trial piece. Small ornamental dots serve as word separators within the legend. The overall design is intentionally minimal, consistent with an essai de frappe intended to test die and planchet characteristics rather than to present a finished artistic composition. |
