| Reverse description | Central field displays a seven-line inscription reading 10 / FRANCS / 1929 / LIBERTE / EGALITE / FRATERNITE / ESSAI, flanked on either side by a vertical stalk of wheat extending the full height of the design. The word ESSAI confirms the trial or pattern status of this piece. The overall composition is austere and typographic, characteristic of Pierre Turin's modernist design approach. |
