1824-1830 France Gold 40 Francs Charles X AU
Struck during a brief and turbulent window of French history, this gold coin represents the restoration era under King Charles X. Minted between 1824 and 1830, the piece carries a face value of 40 Francs and was produced at the historic Paris Mint. It contains 0.3734 ounces of gold, refined to a purity of 0.900. The obverse showcases a right-facing portrait of King Charles X, captured with elegant detail by the artist Auguste-Francois Michaut. On the reverse, the design features the crowned arms of France, which gracefully divide the denomination of 40 Francs, with the year of production positioned directly underneath. This specific design is cataloged by numismatists as KM#721.1 and remains a fascinating window into early nineteenth-century French coinage.
