Token - Essai de Frappe

Descrizione del dritto	Bimetallic striking trial (essai de frappe) issued by the Monnaie de Paris, with no figurative design. The central plug, struck in a silver-toned alloy, bears the inscription 'DE' in raised capital letters at the centre of an otherwise plain field. The legend 'ESSAI DE FRAPPE' is distributed around the junction of the inner plug and the outer golden-toned ring, with 'ESSAI' arching across the upper portion and 'FRAPPE' along the lower, flanked on each side by a small raised star device at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Essais de frappe produced by the Monnaie de Paris are internal trial strikes, made to test die alignment, metal flow, and press calibration before a production run is authorized. They are not proofs and not intended for sale — most were destroyed after evaluation, which is why survivors appear in collector hands at all.
