Commentary
Trace de fantôme au droit où transparaissent les rayures de l’écu du revers : dans l’œil, dans et autour de l’oreille du roi, le long du cou ; ainsi qu’au revers où apparaît le menton du roi à côté du coin supérieur gauche de l’écu. Ce rare phénomène s’observe sur des exemplaires bien frappés où la frappe d’une face “résonne” jusque sur l’autre face. L’exemplaire MONNAIES XIX n° 1367 présentait la même caractéristique. Une autre analyse considère qu’il s’agit de “coins choqués”... recherches en cours.
Ghost trace on the obverse where the stripes of the shield on the reverse appear: in the eye, in and around the king's ear, along the neck; as well as on the reverse where the king's chin appears next to the upper left corner of the shield. This rare phenomenon is observed on well-struck examples where the strike of one side “resonates” to the other side. The copy MONNAIES XIX n° 1367 presented the same characteristic. Another analysis considers that these are “shocked dies”... research in progress

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.
