Commentary

C’est seulement la seconde fois que nous proposons cette version d’essai de frappe à la vente. Le sigle AMM du revers signifie Administration des Monnaies et Médailles.
À noter que nous répertorions cet essai en GEM.196/12 var. à cause de l’absence du bourrelet entre les deux parties de la monnaie, ce qui sous-entend un mode d’assemblage différent.
This is only the second time we have offered this trial version for sale. The acronym AMM on the reverse stands for Administration des Monnaies et Médailles (Administration of Coins and Medals). Note that we are listing this trial as GEM.196/12 var. because of the absence of the rim between the two parts of the coin, which implies a different assembly method.
