Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Sol - Louis XV 1768-1774 (1768-1775) from France made of Copper weighing 12.24 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in France. Louis XV, who ruled from 1715 to 1774, was known for his conservative and absolutist policies, which ultimately contributed to the financial crisis that France faced during his reign. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used denomination during this period and continues to be a sought-after collector's item today.
