Commentary

Photographie du recto de la maquette du 100 Francs Sully. Grand format 35,6cm x 19,3cm. Au dos cachet de l'atelier de Lucien Jonas (1880-1947). Ce document est proche du type adopté mais le dessin n'est pas achevé, entre autres la position des doigts des deux personnages semble avoir été difficile à fixer (voir aussi autre document). Le haut du bâton est simple alors qu'il est surmonté d'un ornement dans le type adopté..
Photograph of the obverse of the mock-up of the 100 Francs Sully coin. Large format, 35.6 cm x 19.3 cm. On the reverse, the stamp of Lucien Jonas's workshop (1880-1947). This document is close to the adopted type, but the design is not finished; among other things, the position of the two figures' fingers seems to have been difficult to finalize (see also another document). The top of the staff is plain, whereas it is surmounted by an ornament in the adopted type.

Indexes showed that with its numerous issuance dates, the Sully series proves to be very difficult to collect together in UNCIRCULATED. The first five references are true rarities starting from AU. Warning: be strict with regard to their condition. On the other hand, some old finds may make it possible to obtain perfect examples for several references, e.g.: F.26.10 UNC alph.F.2632 F.26.18 UNC alph.O.5190 F.26.31 UNC alph.X.11696 F.26.42 UNC alph.Y.16886 F.26.58 UNC alph.Z.24653 F.26.61 UNC alph.K.26276 F.26.62 UNC alph.C.26543
