附加信息	Barre's 1840 pattern coinages were produced as part of a broader push to modernize French minor coinage under Louis-Philippe, whose July Monarchy had inherited a fragmented and visually inconsistent currency system from the Restoration. Jean-Jacques Barre had been appointed engraver general at the Monnaie de Paris in 1834 and used pattern commissions to develop the neoclassical idiom that would eventually define mid-century French coinage. This piece never reached circulation — the existing centimes types were retained — making survivors almost exclusively cabinet pieces from the outset.
