Republic gold Specimen Essai 100 Francs 1929 SP64 PCGS, Paris mint, VG-5223, Maz-2541. Mintage: 9. By P. Turin. Fully struck and displaying a hint of silver patina over lustrous surfaces. The design portrays Liberty on the obverse and a radiant arrangement of five wheat ears on the reverse. This reverse design, while not ultimately adopted for French coinage, was put to use a year later in essentially the same form on the 1930 20 centavos issue from Uruguay, leaving this low-mintage type in its own well-earned and rightful place of honor in French and South American numismatics.
