1974 10 Francs Trial Strike

I have always liked this art deco design on the 70s 10 Francs coin. 1974 was the first year of issue. Gad-814 refers to this coin as a trial strike or specimen strike. Tranche B whould be type B based on how the edge wording is read. 7300 minted. This is one of five that PCGS has graded.

Wow! That really does evoke the Art Deco period. I really like the way they have represented the outline of France on the obverse, it looks like a Canadian Maple Leaf.
