Comment

It will be noticed that the bust does not exceed the circle when the face value is written in figures.
The tests of 10 centimes seems to have only the writing in figure, moreover, it does not show any sign of variation of diameter contrary to the 5 centimes.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

On remarquera que le buste ne dépasse pas du cercle lorsque la valeur faciale est écrite en chiffres.
les essais de 10 centimes semble n'avoir que l'écriture en chiffre, en plus, il ne montre aucun signe de variante de diamètre contrairement aux 5 centimes.

Interesting fact

This coin was designed by French engraver and medalist, Jean-Jacques Barre, and features a unique pattern that was not ultimately adopted for circulation. Instead, a different design by Barre was chosen for the regular issue 10 centimes coin. As a result, this pattern coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable and interesting addition to any numismatic collection.
