Comment

This trial strike differs from the normal circulation coins only on the reverse side (picture side with the coat of arms), by the length of the separation bars between the letters. This strike has separation bars with medium length not touching the border.

Interesting fact

The Pattern 100 Franken coin from Saar (Germany) is interesting because it was minted in 1955 as a trial strike, meaning it was not officially released into circulation. It features a unique design with medium lines and is made of copper-nickel, weighing 6.09 grams. Despite its rarity, it is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists.
