Comment
For 1814, there are two sizes of 4 of the vintage. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Francs - Louis XVIII (dressed bust) 1814-1815 coin from France is that it was minted during a brief period of monarchical restoration in France, following the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Louis XVIII, who was the brother of the guillotined King Louis XVI, was restored to the throne in 1814 and ruled until his death in 1824. This coin, featuring his dressed bust, was minted during his reign and is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
