25 Centimes Trial of H. Guis, large module

This coin was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Henri Guis (1863-1949), and features a unique large module design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The large module design was intended to make the coin more easily recognizable and harder to counterfeit. The coin's design also features a stylized image of a woman representing the French Republic, surrounded by a wreath of olive branches and the coin's denomination, "25 Centimes." The use of nickel in the coin's composition was also a deliberate choice, as it was a more durable and resistant material than other metals commonly used in coinage at the time. Overall, this coin is a fascinating example of early 20th-century coin design and technology.
