The surrounding circular legend REFONTE DES MONNAIES DE CUIVRE is distributed across the upper arc, with the word ESSAI appearing in the lower exergual area beneath the wreath. The composition is symmetrical and restrained, consistent with the official essai (trial strike) format employed by the Monnaie de Paris. |
