Interesting fact
The 6 Livres 2 coin from France, minted in 1793, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature the iconic French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) on its reverse side. This motto has become a symbol of the French Revolution and is still used today as a symbol of French values and principles.
