Commentary


Ce double sol, au millésime 1791, a été frappé en 1792. Il présente en effet au revers AN 4 et non pas AN 3. Les carrés devaient être détruits chaque trimestre et ceux de Pau de 1791 l'avaient été le 17 février 1792, toutefois le 8 mai 1792, la Commission des monnaies demanda à la Monnaie de Pau "pourquoi s’il y a satisfait au mois de février dernier, il a été frappé des pièces de deux sols avec un coin de mil sept cent quatre vingt onze pour la tête et un de 1792 pour le revers, ainsi qu’il semble résulter d’une pièce envoyée à la commission" (CAÉF, MP Ms Fol. 161, f° 50 v°). Monnaie publiée dans le Bulletin Numismatique n° 216.
This double sol, dated 1791, was struck in 1792. It actually has AN 4 on the reverse and not AN 3. The squares were to be destroyed every quarter and those of Pau of 1791 had been destroyed on February 17, 1792, however on May 8, 1792, the coin Commission asked the Pau Mint \\\"why, if it complied with this last February, two-sol coins were struck with a die of one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one for the head and one of 1792 for the reverse, as seems to result from a coin sent to the commission\\\" (CAÉF, MP Ms Fol. 161, f° 50 v°). Coin published in the Bulletin Numismatique n° 216

Historical background


LOUIS XVI

(05/10/1774-01/21/1793)

The Girondin ministry, formed on March 23, 1792, declared war on April 20 on the King of Bohemia and Hungary, Leopold II. Rouget de Lisle composes the Marseillaise on April 25th. The Fatherland is declared "in danger" on July 11. The Parisians and the Marseillais take the Tuileries and massacre the defenders of the castle, Swiss and noble, the king and his family take refuge near the Assembly. Louis XVI was stripped of his functions and interned in the Temple on August 12. In early September, massacres took place in Parisian prisons, including the Carmelites, and claimed thousands of victims, including the Princess of Lamballe, Marie-Antoinette's friend. Dumouriez and Kellermann won the victory of Valmy over the Prussians on September 20, 1792. The news was quickly known thanks to Chappe's telegraph. The following day, the republic was proclaimed and royalty abolished at the first meeting of the Convention. Dumouriez defeated the Austrians at Jemmapes on November 6 and occupied Brussels. The King's trial begins on December 10. On January 17, he was sentenced to death by a majority vote and was guillotined on January 21, 1793..
