| Beschrijving keerzijde | Blank field with no central design, consistent with a striking test piece. The inscription ESSAI DE FRAPPE curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, identifying this piece as a striking trial. A small mintmark device appears at the base near the lower rim. The entirely plain field and absence of any figurative motif confirm this is a technical essay produced to assess press performance and planchet uniformity prior to production of the standard 2 Francs Semeuse coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Semeuse design had been in continuous use on French coinage since Roty's original 1897 execution, but the transition to nickel for the 2-franc denomination in the early 1970s required new die work and formal approval trials. This piece is one of those essais de frappe — a production-authorization strike, not a pattern in the speculative sense, but a technical proof submitted through the Monnaie de Paris's internal validation process before full issue commenced.
Essais of this type were struck in strictly limited numbers for administrative and archival purposes.
