Commentary
Ces deux coins ont servi à frapper l’exemplaire vendu dans MONNAIES X, Collection Alain Davis, n° 97. Ils sont donc différents de ceux de l’exemplaire vendu dans MONNAIES 44 n° 913. Pour mémoire cet exemplaire présentait des différences, au droit, au niveau de la gravure de l'intérieur de l'oreille et de la distance plus grande entre le point situé après le F de la signature et le chiffre 7 du millésime, et au revers, au niveau de la gravure de la couronne et de l’emplacement du chiffre 5. En outre, sur cet exemplaire, les fleurs de lys périphériques du droit et du revers étaient coupées par les listels ce qui n’est pas le cas sur nos coins. Ces derniers sont conservés individuellement dans une magnifique petite boîte en bois en parfait état.
These two dies were used to strike the example sold in MONNAIES X, Collection Alain Davis, No. 97. They are therefore different from those of the example sold in MONNAIES 44 No. 913. For the record, this example presented differences, on the obverse, at the level of the engraving of the inside of the ear and the greater distance between the point located after the F of the signature and the number 7 of the year, and on the reverse, at the level of the engraving of the crown and the location of the number 5. In addition, on this example, the peripheral fleurs-de-lis of the obverse and reverse were cut by the strips which is not the case on our dies. These latter are preserved individually in a magnificent little wooden box in perfect condition

Historical background
III REPUBLIC
(4/09/1870-10/07/1940)
The news of the capitulation of Sedan provokes the revolution of September 4, 1870 in Paris. Proclaimed at the Hôtel de Ville, the Republic is endowed with a provisional government called the Government of National Defense. Threatened on the left by the insurrection of the Commune and on the right by the monarchists, the new regime had a difficult start.. Initially head of the executive power (February 1871), Thiers was responsible for reorganizing the country before choosing its form of government.. He became President of the Republic in August 1871 and, despite his action to liberate the territory, had to leave his post in March 1873 in the face of royalist opposition.. He is then replaced by Mac-Mahon favorable to the restoration of the monarchy but this one is not restored following the question of the flag. The law of the septennat was then put in place in November 1873 and then, in 1875, the fundamental laws were passed which served as the Constitution of the Third Republic.. Parliamentary system, it is characterized in particular by the clear preponderance of the legislative power on the executive power. Anticlerical, the Third Republic makes school free, secular and compulsory but continues the colonial policy for its economic, strategic and moral ambitions. Separation of Church and State was passed in 1905.. The idea of revenge on Germany and significant nationalism are at the heart of the Boulangist crisis, the Panama scandal or the Dreyfus affair of the years 1886-1899, while foreign policy is very active, particularly in Morocco and that the arms race develops. The First World War was expensive for France, which only recovered from 1920 or even 1928 for the coin with the "Poincaré" franc.. The crisis of 1929 is felt only from 1932 but lasts until 1939, a period during which ministerial instability is very important. Wavering in 1934, the Third Republic found a new unitary cement with anti-fascism which enabled the Popular Front to come to power in 1936.. But, paralyzed against Germany, France was then bogged down in a "phony war" and then suffered one of the greatest defeats in its history in June 1940.. Gathered in the National Assembly in Vichy on July 10, 1940, the Chambers, although elected in 1936, voted full powers to Pétain in a sort of collective suicide by 569 votes for, 80 votes against and 18 abstentions..
