Comment
Very thin, irregular flan. The laurel branch surrounds the neck. Dated 1896 on the ribbon. The reverse shows the portrait in negative. Interesting fact
This coin was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Daniel-Dupuis, and features a unique and intricate pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes a wreath of olive branches surrounding a shield with the number "10" in the center, all surrounded by a decorative border. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the values of the French Republic, including liberty, equality, and fraternity.
