1832-1843 France Silver 5 Francs Louis Philippe I Avg Circ
Struck during a dynamic period in nineteenth-century France, this silver 5 Francs coin features the profile of Louis Philippe I. The obverse displays the laureate head of the monarch facing right, surrounded by inscriptions that identify him as the King of the French. This specific phrasing highlights his role as a citizen king rather than a traditional ruler of the land. The reverse of the coin focuses on its monetary value, displaying the denomination of 5 Francs positioned above the year of issue. This central text is framed elegantly by a detailed wreath. Cataloged as KM-749, each coin contains 0.7234 troy ounces of silver with a purity of 0.900, representing the standard circulating coinage of the era. These pieces survive in average circulated condition, showing the honest wear of historical commerce.
