Detailed visual description

This French coin, dated 1924, has a distinctive circular shape with a central hole. On the visible side, the inscription "LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ" is clearly visible in an arc on the upper part, as well as the face value "10" on the left and "cmes" on the right, separated by the central hole. The year "1924" is clearly visible at the bottom of the coin, surrounded by a stylized vegetal decoration composed of oak and olive leaves, typical of French issues of the time. The whole is surrounded by a finely beaded border.

The surface of the coin reveals an old patina, with gray nuances and uniform traces of wear, testifying to circulating use. The reliefs, although patinated, remain legible and the decorative motifs are still well present. No major chips or missing parts are visible on the observed edge. The central hole is clean and regular, a typical detail of certain French issues from the early 20th century.

The graphic style, typography and vegetal ornaments are characteristic of French coinage from the interwar period. This coin perfectly illustrates the French monetary aesthetic of this period, with a balance between functionality and republican ornamentation.
