Comments

In addition to the metal, this "large module" model (17mm instead of 15mm) features a very thin, elongated "1" in the value, pointed and centered on the date. Its base is curved. The different letters on either side of the word "centime" are much lower.
On the obverse, the leaf to the right of the ear of corn is less curved.
This obverse engraving corresponds to Guilleminet's first design.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Outre le métal, cet exemplaire "gros module" (17mm au lieu de 15mm) se caractérise par un "1" de la valeur très fin, plus allongé, et pointe et centré sur la date. Sa base est incurvée. Les différents, de part et d'autre du mot "centime", sont beaucoup plus bas.
A l'avers, la feuille à droite de l'épi est moins courbée.
Cette gravure de l'avers correspond au premier projet de Guilleminet.
