Uninterrupted obverse legend, in larger and more spaced characters. This variety of legend is very rare. Reverse identical to GEM#30.1, with the word "CENTIMS" in the ribbon.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Centimes Daniel-Dupuis (Pré-série en bronze, légende large) 1897 from France is that it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted for circulation. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins designed by artist Daniel-Dupuis, and it features a large legend and a distinctive wreath on the reverse side. While it was not chosen for circulation, it remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
