Comment

Copies with the face value written in numerals are larger in diameter than those with the face value written in letters. However, this feature only applies to 5-centime coins.
Note that the portrait does not extend beyond the circle when the face value is written in figures.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Les exemplaires avec la valeur faciale écrite en chiffre sont plus grand concernant le diamètre que les exemplaires avec la valeur faciale écrite en lettres. Par contre, cette particularité ne concerne que les monnaies de 5 centimes.
On notera que le portrait ne dépasse pas du cercle lorsque la valeur faciale est écrite en chiffres.
