Interesting fact

The 1 Sol - Louis XVI 1777-1791 coin from France made of Copper weighing 12.235g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Louis XVI, who was the last king of France before the French Revolution. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the French coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the monarchy and the power of the French crown. Despite being made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin was still considered valuable and widely used in circulation during that time. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts, serving as a tangible reminder of France's rich history and cultural heritage.
