Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 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 was minted during his reign and features his image on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the image of a woman representing France. The coin's silver content and relatively low mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
