For this coin:

Fininess is not showing in the outer ring, but it is in the info:

 

 

 

Any idea of what is happening?

This is what SCWC tells us:

Nothing about fineness,

 

This is from UCoins, where finess is given

 

 

The mint mark shows the coin was minted in France (I think), so maybe you try to look into the archives in Paris?

Fines is known (both silver parts are 0.950) and already entered in Numista database, if I correctly understood. The problem is why this is not displayed on Numista coin page.

 

Anyway, this coin is triple-elements bimmetallic and not trimettalic ;-)

Should have been posted in the Numista website forum as a bug.

Yes, you are right, I myself have just approved a modification request from a user who has given me the fineness data based on a test XRF (Xray Fluorescence Spectroscopy) that he has made on his own coin, giving the result of silver 95% and copper 5%. I hope I did well in passing it, are these tests really reliable? From what I've researched, I think so.

 

Actually, the problem that I indicated here is that the fineness was not indicated in the Features box (as MMowiec comments), and which, as rsirian1 has very well said, I think I should have been write in the Numista Website Forum as a “bug”.

 

Regarding the trimetallic issue, they are really two metals distributed in three parts, since the interior and exterior are made of the same material, but I believe that these coins have always been considered that way, like this one, perhaps the best known, from France.

If not, how should it be indicated? What is your opinion?
