| Obverse description | Plain field bearing the three-line French inscription 'ESSAI DE MONNAIE' (meaning 'Coin Trial') in large, incuse serif capital letters centered within the field. No effigy, wreath, or additional decorative elements are present. The legend occupies the majority of the flat field, consistent with a trial piece intended to test the dies and striking quality rather than represent a final circulating design. A plain inner border frames the field, with a reeded outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the denomination '1/4 REAL' and date '1872' arranged in three lines, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel and oak branches tied at the base with a floral rosette. The mint mark 'A' appears below the wreath at the bottom of the field, denoting the Monnaie de Paris. A beaded inner border runs around the circumference, with a plain raised rim. The overall composition is finely engraved in the French academic style characteristic of Parisian essay coinage. |
