Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Louis d'Or - Louis XVI 1785-1792 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced in 1785, just a few years before the French Revolution, which began in 1789 and ultimately led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new government. Despite the turmoil of this period, the coin remained in circulation until 1792, when it was replaced by a new currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of the tumultuous history of France during this time and serves as a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
