PCGS 1792 2 SOL French Maz-332 Graded ms64 bn By PCGS. Maz-332. Dies by Dupre, Hercules kneeling breaking royal scepter, owl behind; Reverse: Pyramid. Perfectly detailed with intense reflectivity in the rich brown fields. Underrated as a type considering the captivating themes on both sides. Monneron Brothers issued these tokens with dies created by Dupré. Quoting from the Museum Gallery of France “Very Scarce, interesting design and history. Probably meant as a trial strike by Matthew Boulton for the Monneron Brothers contract.Mazard lists this splendid design among Essais de Module et de Gravure. The pyramid is hauntingly familiar, recalling the Unfinished Pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States.”
