| Aanvullende informatie |
The February Revolution of 1848 that toppled Louis-Philippe triggered an immediate scramble to redesign French coinage for the new republic, and the months that followed saw an extraordinary volume of submitted patterns — over 700 designs competed for the commission. Magniadas was among the sculptors and engravers who entered the open competition organized by the Monnaie de Paris, which was unprecedented in scale for French coinage history.
Tin was the standard medium for trial strikes of this period, keeping production costs low while preserving die detail for evaluation by the selection committee. The commission ultimately went to Jacques-Jean Barre.
