Commentary
Il existe, pour les centimes de l’an 7, trois tailles différentes de millésime : grand 7, 7 normal et petit 7.
Petit 7. Exemplaire avec 53 perles au droit et 50 perles au revers. Une cassure de coin en travers du 7 du millésime fait penser à un 7 barré. C’est l’exemplaire de la Collection Idéale.
There are three different year 7 centimes: large 7, normal 7, and small 7. Small 7. example with 53 pearls on the obverse and 50 pearls on the reverse. A die break across the 7 of the year suggests a crossed-out 7. This is the example from the Ideal Collection

Historical background
DIRECTOIRE
(26/10/1795-9-10/11/1799)
When the Convention separated on October 25, 1795, a new executive power provided for by the Thermidorian constitution was put in place.. This constitution plans to entrust power to a board of five members, each of whom presides in turn, with the replacement of one member every two years.. This board appoints ministers and civil servants, directs foreign policy and enforces laws, but it does not draft them and has no control over public funds.. Power is shared with two chambers: the Council of Five Hundred and the Council of Elders which form the Legislative Body.. This power is determined to maintain itself in the face of the risk of a monarchical restoration or a Jacobin reaction, but it is above all paralyzed by the financial crisis and must give up the assignat in 1796.. The replacement of the assignats by the territorial mandates does not inspire more confidence and this new fiduciary coin is abolished in 1797. Faced with misery and attempts at destabilization, the Directory, accused of being a "bourgeois republic", returned to revolutionary and police measures. Moreover, since 1792, the war has been uninterrupted and the influence of military leaders is growing.. In 1799, the supporters of a strong power, including Sieyès, found themselves in the Directory and they opened the way to power for Bonaparte, back from Egypt.. The coup of 18 and 19 brumaire year VIII allows the establishment of a military dictatorship under the name of Consulate.
