Commentary
Exemplaire frappé avec un coin d’avers abîmé et qui présentait des striures ou griffes en travers du portrait du roi. Ces striures se retrouvent sur notre exemplaire en relief. Il est probable que l’on trouvera un autre exemplaire qui présente des caractéristiques identiques à l’avenir, mais la rareté de ce millésime, qui n’était pas encore illustré dans la COLLECTION IDÉALE, n’a pas encore permis d’en voir un autre.
A example struck with a damaged obverse die and which had streaks or scratches across the king's portrait. These streaks are also found on our embossed example. It is likely that another example with identical characteristics will be found in the future, but the rarity of this vintage, which was not yet illustrated in the IDEAL COLLECTION, has not yet allowed us to see another one.

Historical background
CHARLES X
(09/16/1824-08/2/1830)
Charles X, grandson of Louis XV and younger brother of Louis XVI, is known as Comte d'Artois. He succeeded Louis XVIII on September 16, 1824. His reign begins with liberal measures without follow-up. Charles X is the last king crowned in Reims, May 29, 1825. He leaves the government to Villèle which takes reactionary measures such as the law of compensation for emigrants of one billion gold francs or the dismissal of the National Guard. Despite the dissolution of the Chamber in 1821, the liberal opposition was strengthened and, in January 1828, Villèle was replaced by Martignac who tried to appease. Quickly fired in August 1829, Martignac was replaced by a representative of the ultras, Polignac. The king dissolves the Chamber on May 16, 1830 but the new chamber elected in July again has a liberal majority. Charles X then promulgates four ordinances which aim to limit the powers and freedoms of the House and tend to suspend the charter of 1814. This causes the revolution of July 27/29, better known as the "Trois Glorieuses". On August 2, 1830, Charles X abdicated in favor of his grandson Henri V, after appointing Louis-Philippe lieutenant general of the kingdom.
