Comment
The picture coin is Gad# 66 with three branches (trois rameaux). The other type (Gad# 66a) has one branch (rameaux simples), like the 5 Sols KM# 603.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Siege of Mainz, which was a significant event in the French Revolutionary Wars. The siege lasted from April to July 1793, and it was a strategic victory for the French, as it allowed them to gain control of the Rhine River and secure their supply lines. The coin's design, featuring Frederick Charles Joseph, may have been a tribute to the French military leader who led the siege.
