The French Third Republic experimented extensively with coinage composition in the 1880s and 1890s, and this nickel silver essai from 1890 belongs to that broader testing program — one driven partly by the rising cost of bronze and partly by lobbying from French metallurgical interests pushing cupro-nickel and related alloys. None of these nickel-series trials for small denominations were adopted; France retained bronze for its centime coinage until the denomination was effectively abandoned through inflation following the First World War.
