Second design by R.Joly for the 5 centimes. Without the word "ESSAI", obverse struck with the two different ones. No signature. Unlike the Marianne effigy proof, which has a finely ribbed edge, this one has a smooth edge. 14 known copies.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 centimes (Projet en acier inoxydable de Joly, 2è projet, petit module) 1962 from France made of Stainless steel weighing 3.4 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 designs were often characterized by their minimalism and functionality. The Pattern 5 centimes coin, which was never put into circulation, is a rare example of Joly's work in the field of numismatics.
