Commentary

Avec la pièce de 5 francs, c'est peut-être l'essai en métal commun le plus difficile à trouver. Comme les autres valeurs de cette première émission en nouveaux francs, 500 essais furent aussi frappés en argent et en bronze.
Along with the 5 franc coin, this is perhaps the most difficult base metal trial to find. Like the other values of this first issue in new francs, 500 trials were also struck in silver and bronze.
