This looks like an error coin.
Martinrajotte,this looks like an error coin,not an Essai (or pattern coin).I know of only 2 British Commonwealth country that had issued coins inscribed 'ESSAI'.They are Namibia (whose pattern 100 Rand,1 & 10 Mark,& 1 & 10 Dollar coins are also inscribed 'PROBE') & the Condominium des Nouvelles-Hebrides (Condominium of the New Hebrides).
The Namibian coins are listed in Krause's 'Unusual World Coins' catalogue.The New Hebrides coins are listed in the 20th Century Krause catalogue.I have got 3 of the New Hebrides Essai coins - the 1967 10 & 20 Francs,& the 1966 silver 100 Francs crown-sized coin.
The 100 Francs Essai was once in the collection of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand,which they sold off at auction.I bought it off a friendly dealer for NZ$150.I won't ever sell these coins,as British Commonwealth patterns of issued coinage are of interest to me.
