Interesting fact
This coin was part of a series of essai coins minted in the late 19th century for French Guiana, which was a French overseas colony at the time. The essai coins were minted in small quantities and were intended to test new designs and metallic compositions for future coinage. The Pattern 10 Centimes (Essai) 1887 is particularly interesting because it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted for circulation, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
