Commentary

Une frappe en bronze est évoquée dans le World Coins sans qu’il soit précisé s’il s’agit de l’essai de Bazor ou celui d’Oudiné
Ces essais sont en effet ni cotés, ni reproduits dans le World Coins.
Cette série d’essai aurait été suivi d’une production de frappes courantes intégralement refondue à cause de la guerre.
A bronze strike is mentioned in the World Coins without it being specified whether it is the Bazor test or the Oudiné test. These tests are in fact neither listed nor reproduced in the World Coins. This series of tests would have been followed by a production of standard strikes completely recast because of the war.
