Monaco - Honore V (1819-1841), Uniface Reverse Tin Trial 5 Francs 1837 (Monaco mint) (Tin, 41.78 gr, 51 mm) cfr. KM 96. Extremely Fine.
In March 1837, Prince Honoré V of Monaco had a mint workshop installed in the Prince's Palace. Until July 1838, several coins of different values were minted. The statue of Prince Honoré V was modeled and engraved by Valentin Maurice Borrel (1804-1882), and the obverses are the work of Emile Rogat (1770-1850).
The original die used to mint this trial is kept in the Royal Mint's archives under the reference DM-432. It has more than likely served for reference purposes. (not included)
These pieces were meant to be transferred to the Royal Mint Museum, or the Royal Archives, when the Brussels Mint closed in 2018. They were found appart recently, and sold by the Federal Public Service Finance, on behalf of the Royal Mint of Belgium.
Ces pièces devaient être transférées au Musée Royal de la Monnaie, ou aux Archives Royales, lors de la fermeture de la Monnaie de Bruxelles en 2018. Elles ont été retrouvées à part récemment, et vendues par le Service Public Fédéral Finances, pour le compte de la Monnaie Royale de Belgique.
