Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Franc - Louis XVIII 1817-1824 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in France. Louis XVIII, who ruled from 1814 to 1824, was the brother of the guillotined King Louis XVI and was restored to the throne after the fall of Napoleon.
