Comment
There is only one type of specimen for this test, bronze-aluminum, no significant weight or diameter variants. Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Francs (pattern of Bénard) 1929 was designed by French sculptor and engraver, Louis-Oscar Roty, who was also responsible for designing the famous French coin, the 20 Francs Gold Coin.
