Commentary
Poids léger. Compte tenu du métal, de la date et des autres pré-séries connues, on peut être pratiquement certain que ce type fut utilisé pour mettre au point les 10 francs Pétain, bien qu’il reste possible que ces essais datent de l’immédiate avant-guerre et aient été effectivement destinés à frapper des Turins en aluminium. A contrario, il semble que les réquisitions de métaux n’aient pas été imaginés avant-guerre, donc que l’usage de l’aluminium indique la période de guerre. Si nous avons effectivement affaire à des essais de frappe de 10 francs Pétain, ces essais, du fait de leur métal, sont postérieurs aux essais de frappe au type 1939/1929 puisque ceux-ci n’envisageaient pas encore le rationnement du cuivre et du nickel.
Lightweight. Given the metal, the date and other known pre-series, we can be practically certain that this type was used to develop the 10 franc Pétain, although it remains possible that these tests date from the immediate pre-war period and were actually intended to strike aluminum Turins. On the contrary, it seems that the requisitions of metals were not imagined before the war, so the use of aluminum indicates the war period. If we are indeed dealing with test strikes of 10 franc Pétain, these tests, because of their metal, are later than the test strikes of the 1939/1929 type since these did not yet envisage the rationing of copper and nickel

Historical background
FRENCH STATE
(07/10/1940-08/26/1944)
Born from the collapse of the Third Republic following the French defeat of May-June 1940, the French State was founded by a vote of the Parliament meeting in the National Assembly in Vichy on July 10, 1940. The National Assembly by 569 yes, 80 no and 17 abstentions gives "all powers to the government of the Republic, under the authority and signature of Marshal Pétain, for the purpose of promulgating by one or more acts a new constitution of the 'French State". This constitution must "guarantee the rights of Work, Family and Fatherland". By six acts of 1940, the presidency of the Republic is suppressed in favor of Marshal Pétain, head of the French state.. A supreme court of justice is created. Marshal Pétain exercises full power not only governmental but also legislative since he appoints and dismisses ministers, and he appoints to all civil or military jobs.. It also has justice and armed force. It negotiates and ratifies treaties. From 1941, all civil servants must take an oath to the Head of State. A moral and intellectual reform tackles divorce, abortion, alcoholism, prohibits Freemasonry and creates a Jewish Affairs Commissariat. Unions are abolished and replaced by a corporate system. The family is supported and the retirement of workers is instituted. The Montoire interview of October 24, 1940 commits France to the path of collaboration which becomes total from June 1941 with the attacks of the communist resistance.. The French State is also committed alongside Germany in an anti-Bolshevik crusade. After the progressive loss of the Empire, the southern zone is occupied by the Germans causing the scuttling of the fleet in Toulon. With the establishment of the Compulsory Labor Service (S. T. O. ), the resistance sees its ranks increase. The attacks, and their repression, increase while the National Council of Resistance is formed. The landing and the uprisings of the resistance allow the Provisional Government of the French Republic to increase its control. On August 20, 1944, Marshal Pétain was taken to Sigmaringen by the Germans. On the 25th, the Leclerc division was the first to enter Paris in a state of insurrection, thus sounding the death knell of the Vichy regime..
