Commentary
Le 24 février 1848, après l'abdication de Louis-Philippe en faveur de son petit fils, la République est proclamée avec une rapidité étonnante. Les fabrications monétaires reprennent les anciens types de Dupré, à l'Hercule pour les 5 francs dont les fabrications commencent le 19 mars et au Génie pour les 20 francs dont les fabrications commencent le 12 mai. Le 3 mai, le nouveau gouvernement, élu en avril, décrète la création de nouveaux types pour les monnaies. Le même jour un concours est organisé pour la gravure des coins des nouvelles espèces. Trente et un artistes participent au concours : Alard, Barre, Boivin, Borrel, Bouchon, Bouvet, Bovy, Catel, Caunois, Dantzell, Desbœufs, Dieudonné, Domard, Farochon, Fauque, Gayrard, Leclerc, Magniadas, Malbet, Marrel, Merley, Montagny, Moullé, Oudiné, Pillard, Pingret, Reynaud (termina après la date de clôture), Rogat, Tournier, Vauthier-Galle et Vivier. Tandis que certains ne se présentent que pour un type (Bouchon ou Caunois pour l'argent par exemple), d'autres artistes participent pour les trois métaux (Boivin, Dieudonné ou Oudiné par exemple), et d'autres présentent des épreuves multiples (deux dans chaque métal pour Montagny, quatre en bronze pour Rogat, sept en tout pour Gayrard). Les prix sont obtenus par Merley pour l'or, Oudiné pour l'argent et Domard pour le cuivre. Barre et Oudiné obtiennent un accessit pour l'or, Barre et Domard obtiennent un accessit pour l'argent, Barre et Oudiné obtiennent un accessit pour le cuivre.

Historical background
II REPUBLIC
(02/24/1848-12/2/1852)
During the February 1848 revolution, Louis-Philippe abdicated in favor of his grandson, but the latter was not recognized by the Chambers and, on February 24, the Republic was proclaimed by a decree of the provisional government.. He proclaimed the freedom of work, the abolition of the death penalty in political matters, universal suffrage. The national workshops were created in March 1848. Elections are held in April and result in the success of moderate Republicans. The closing of the national workshops causes riots which are bloodily repressed by General Cavaignac who is appointed chairman of the council. The rebels are executed, imprisoned, deported. Legislative power is entrusted to a single assembly while the President of the Republic, elected by universal suffrage, holds the executive. The latter is Prince Louis Napoleon. He came into conflict with the assembly in 1850 because his re-election was unconstitutional.. Louis Napoleon then engages in the preparation of the coup d'etat which allows him, on December 2, 1851, to install his dictatorship. In November 1852, it was proposed to restore the hereditary imperial dignity. The plebiscite of November 21-22 gives nearly eight million yes for the Empire while the no collected only about 250. 000 votes. On December 2, 1852, Louis Napoleon was proclaimed emperor under the name of Napoleon III..
