| Additional information |
Henri V never ruled France. These pieces were struck in exile — privately produced legitimist coins intended to assert the Bourbon pretender's dynastic claim following the July Revolution of 1830, which had replaced Charles X with Louis-Philippe. The "1832" and "1833" dates place production during Henri's adolescence, when his supporters in France were actively agitating for a Carlist-style restoration that never materialized.
Classified in most references as obsidional or pretender issues rather than official coinage, they circulated not as currency but as political tokens among legitimist circles.
