Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Sols - Louis XVI (FRANÇOIS) 1791-1793 from France made of Copper weighing 24 g is that it was minted during the French Revolution, a time of great social and political upheaval in France. The coin features an image of King Louis XVI, who was eventually executed in 1793, and the inscription "FRANÇOIS Premier" (Francis I), reflecting the revolutionaries' attempt to create a new French Republic and break away from the monarchy. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained in circulation and is now a sought-after collector's item.
