Commentary
Exemplaires présentés dans le boîtier plastique “Monnaie de Paris” (boîtier comportant des traces de manipulation). Il est beaucoup plus difficile de trouver le coffret d'origine que les monnaies séparées. Essai de 5 francs avec le grand 5 au niveau de la date.
examples presented in the “Monnaie de Paris” plastic case (case with signs of handling). It is much more difficult to find the original case than the individual coins. 5 franc test with the large 5 at the date
