Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Francs - Louis-Philippe coin with an I-relief edge is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in France. The coin was minted in 1830-1831, which was during the reign of King Louis-Philippe, who had recently ascended to the throne following the July Revolution of 1830. This period saw significant political and social upheaval, including the overthrow of the Bourbon monarchy and the establishment of a new constitutional monarchy. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable and sought-after commodity.
