Comment
No inner graining on the obverse. The letter "E" on the reverse under the crown.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Centimes (Essai en maillechort de Oudiné, sans légende) 1870 from France made of Nickel silver weighing 4.9 g is that it is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial coin, and only a small number of samples were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
