| Reverse description | The central field features the year 1846 in large numerals, enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The circular legend REFONTE DES MONNAIES DE CUIVRE arcs around the upper portion of the field, while the word ESSAI appears prominently at the bottom, outside the wreath, identifying this piece as a trial or pattern strike. A beaded border runs along the inner edge of the rim. The overall design is clean and restrained, typical of mid-nineteenth-century French essai coinage. |
