| Obverse description | This is a reverse control die trial (épreuve de contrôle de revers) struck in lead. The obverse of this piece presents a deeply recessed, concentric circular pattern across the entire field, characteristic of a lead hub or die-checking impression used in the production process at the Monnaie de Paris. No figurative design elements are visible on this face, as it serves purely as a technical verification piece. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the standard design of the 5 centimes Marianne type, embedded within a broad raised lead border typical of control trial pieces. At centre, the large numeral '5' dominates the field, flanked by two laurel branches curving symmetrically inward. The legend 'LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE' arcs along the upper rim, with the denomination 'CENTIMES' and the date '1966' positioned in the lower field. The entire coin design appears as a sunken intaglio impression set within the oversized lead planchet used for die verification purposes. |
