Description: The 1823 French 5 francs featuring King Charles X is a striking example of early 19th-century French coinage. This coin, struck during the reign of Charles X, who ruled from 1824 to 1830, represents a significant period in French history and the Bourbon restoration after the fall of Napoleon. Obverse: The obverse of the coin features a detailed, left-facing bust of King Charles X. Surrounding the bust are the inscriptions "CHARLES X ROI DE FRANCE" (Charles X, King of France) Reverse: On the reverse, the coin is adorned with the royal arms of France—a shield bearing the fleurs-de-lis, framed by a laurel wreath. Above the emblem is a crown, symbolizing the monarchy, and the inscription "5" to the left and "F" (Francs) to the right along with the year of mintage, "1823," positioned just beneath the wreath. The mint mark "A" appears to the right of the date, indicating that this coin was struck at the Paris Mint. Grade and Condition (AU55):Graded AU55 (About Uncirculated), this coin is in excellent condition, displaying a well-struck design with nearly all of the original details still intact. The luster is vibrant, and while there is some light wear from circulation, particularly on the highest points of the design, the coin remains very attractive with only minor signs of use. If you have any questions about the coin feel free to reach out, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!
