Comment

The mintage of this coin is almost mint, but remains a little off (in reality it is at 7 o'clock) depending on the coin.


This bronze test, with no face value, date or engraver's signature, seems completely unprecedented. It is unquestionably a 2 franc, due to the modulus and the direction of the head to the left.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

La frappe de cette pièce est presque monnaie, mais reste un peu décalée (en réalité elle est à 7h) selon les pièces.


Cet essai en bronze, sans valeur faciale, ni date, ni signature de graveur semble complètement inédit. Il s'agit indiscutablement d'une 2 francs de part le module et la direction de la tête à gauche.
