Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 40 Francs - Charles X 1824-1830 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced in 1824, just a year after the Bourbon Restoration, which saw the return of the Bourbon monarchy to power after the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system in France, as the country transitioned from a feudal system to a more modern, capitalist economy. The coin's gold content and 12.90322 gram weight made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, and it remained in circulation until the late 19th century.
