Interesting fact
This coin was part of a trial run for a new design featuring Prince Rainier III of Monaco. It was minted in silver and weighed 11.7 grams, making it slightly heavier than standard 10 franc coins. The "Essai" designation indicates it was a test piece, likely produced in limited quantities to assess the new design before mass production.
