| Reverse description | Plain, unadorned field bearing a three-line central inscription in bold, serifed capital letters reading ESSAI / DE BRONZE / 1851, arranged concentrically across the center of the coin. The design is entirely typographic with no decorative devices, wreaths, or subsidiary elements. The inscription serves as an explicit declaration of the piece's experimental character, confirming the alloy tested. The reverse field is smooth and slightly concave, framed by a matching dentilated border consistent with the obverse. |
