Comment

The brass trials from the Dijon Chamber of Commerce bear a serial number stamped in the center circle. The 5 centime has also been observed without a number (not recorded by Elie 2003, see here).

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Les essais en laiton de la Chambre de Commerce de Dijon portent un numéro de série frappé dans le rond central. Celui de 5 centimes a également été observé sans numéro (non relevé par Elie 2003, voir ici).

Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Centimes coin was designed by French artist and engraver, Louis-Oscar Roty, who was also responsible for creating the iconic French coinage designs of the 20th century, including the 1929 Peace Dollar and the 1933 Gold 100 Francs.
