Commentary
Cette monnaie est la première que nous voyons. Elle est tellement rarissime que nous n’avons jamais pu jusqu’à présent l’illustrer en tant que type dans le FRANC. Elle manque bien entendu à la Collection Idéale. Après examen minutieux de cette monnaie, notamment au niveau de sa tranche afin de s’assurer qu’aucune supercherie n’ait été commise, nous sommes arrivés à la conclusion selon laquelle cette monnaie est authentique. Le poids et le diamètre sont par ailleurs tout à fait conformes. Cette monnaie illustrera donc le type dans le FRANC VIII et sera par la même occasion l’exemplaire de la Collection Idéale et le premier recensé.

After careful examination of this coin, particularly at the edge level to ensure that no deception has been committed, we have come to the conclusion that this coin is authentic. The weight and diameter are also completely consistent. This coin will therefore illustrate the type in the FRANC VIII and will also be the example of the Ideal Collection and the first recorded

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.
