Comment
Without the word "TRIAL", nor different. Marianne with a cap in the shape of stylized rooster. 3 known copies. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 centimes (Projet en acier inoxydable de Joly, 1er projet, grand module) 1962 from France made of Stainless steel weighing 8.8 g is that it was designed by French engineer and industrial designer, Jean Joly. Joly was known for his work in the field of industrial design, and his design for the 5 centimes coin was chosen as the winner of a competition held by the French Ministry of Finance in 1961. The coin's unique design features a stylized image of a young woman's head on the obverse, and a pattern of leaves and branches on the reverse. The use of stainless steel was also a notable feature, as it was the first time this material had been used in the production of a French coin.
