Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a set).
Original
A three-coin set illustrating part of the development and design process in coin production. Two one-sided
essai pattern trial strikes (obverse and reverse respectively) and the final two-sided pattern. This particular design was engraved by
Pierre-Joseph Lorthior, for a 2 decime coin that was never adopted. Historical EV for the French franc and the stages in preparing a coin.
