Lecompte lists this as Nickel (same as Krause) with weight of 10g
Possibly a mistake or another piece exists and this identification is wrong

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Francs - Mohammed V (Essai) ND (1928) from Morocco made of Copper-nickel weighing 8.78g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The "Essai" mint mark indicates that it was a trial or pattern coin, and its design differs from the standard 10 Francs coin issued by Morocco during that time. This makes it a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
