Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Francs - Louis-Philippe (relief) 1831 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued in 1831, just a year after the July Revolution, which overthrew King Charles X and led to the establishment of the July Monarchy, with Louis-Philippe as the new king of France. This period of political upheaval and transition is reflected in the coin's design, which features a portrait of Louis-Philippe in relief, surrounded by symbols of the French monarchy and the motto "Dieu, la Loi, le Roi" (God, the Law, the King). Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained in circulation for many years and is now a sought-after collector's item.
