Comment
Without the word "ESSAI". Perforated nickel blank (magnetic). As the diameter of the blank is smaller than that of the corners, the striking is incomplete. The scroll is thin but marked. 6 known examples. Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 centimes Daniel-Dupuis coin was designed by French engraver and sculptor, Daniel-Dupuis, and features a unique perforated design. This perforation was intended to make the coin easier to distinguish from other coins in circulation, particularly for the visually impaired. The use of nickel in the coin's composition also made it more durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring that it would remain in circulation for a longer period of time.
