Description
FRANCE. National Convention. Reign of Terror. Octagonal White Metal Obverse Cliché or Trial for 5 Décimes, ND (1794). Paris Mint. PCGS AU-55.
cf. Maz-300 (round and regular 3); cf. Gad-390a.(b) (round); cf. F-172A (for regular issue in bronze). By A. Dupré. Weight: 5.79 gms. An EXTREMELY RARE trial striking for the "French Regeneration" type with the nourishing Isis, this example lacks the Dupré signature and features an additional legend (CE SONT | TOUS MES ENFA) and decoration (Phrygian cap) on the base. Meanwhile, further alterations from the norm are the presence of the lion différent and a retrograde "3" in the date.
From the Richard Margolis Collection (acquired from Émile Bourgey in Paris on 16 November 1991). Purporedly Ex: R.K. [Raoul Kraft] Collection # 313.
Estimate: $750.00- $1500.00
