Comment
The coin indicates Year 4, which is curious since it was minted in 1870. It is possible that the engraver was inspired by an object engraved by Dupré, who was the general engraver of coins at that time. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Centimes (pattern at the modul of 10 centiumes) ND (1870) from France made of Bronze weighing 9.95g is that it was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Debay, who was known for his work on various French coins and medals during the 19th century.
