Only one other known example (iNumis, Mail Bid Sale 24, lot 1325 \u0026amp; 47, lot 626) with the same observe die only, reverse die unpublished. \nVariety of the specimen presented at GEM 35.1, with a larger bust without visible shoulders: this is the portrait (and observe die?) used for the specimens of the 5 Centimes coin from the same year. \nOn the reverse, a specific engraving for this strike seems to have been designed, with the word ‘CENTIMES’ written in letters with similar fineness to the reverse die of the 5 Centimes coin, and the 1 in ‘10’ symbolised in Roman numerals with a single bar. The reverse die of the 10 Centimes that follows (and which illustrates the GEM) has slightly thicker lettering and the 1 is symbolised with Arabic numerals.\nGEM 35.1var, 6h, magnetisable blank. Matte blank, plain edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eREPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE \/ 1905\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003eLIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ \/ 10 CENTIMES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e3.95 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57578662101324,"sku":"1508905","price":700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/1508905A.jpg?v=1779206515","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1508905-france-10-centimes-francois-rude-1905-specimen-nickel-ms-65-70","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
