Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1830 French 1 Franc coin with the fluted edge and four-leaf reverse die is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles X, who was the last king of France to rule under the Bourbon Restoration. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency and promote economic growth in France. The coin's design, featuring the king's profile on one side and the denomination and a wreath on the other, was meant to symbolize the power and stability of the French monarchy. Despite the coin's historical significance, it is still considered a common circulation coin and can be found in many coin collections today.
