Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sol de Béarn - Louis XVI 1779-1791 coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great social and political upheaval in France. The coin was minted in 1785, just a few years before the French Revolution began in 1789, which would ultimately lead to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new government. Despite this tumultuous time, the coin still bears the image of King Louis XVI, who was the monarch at the time. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex and transformative period in French history.
