Comments
There are several variants of alloy, thickness, alignment. Here are two variants where all three differ.
This monetary essai was struck under the rule of Louis-Philippe I, but features the likeness of his ancestor Louis XIII. This is because the reverse is a reuse of a design by Nicolas Briot (according to Maz.)
