The French Second Republic's monetary redesign in 1848 generated an extraordinary volume of competing pattern submissions — Rogat alone submitted multiple distinct projects, of which this is the third. The provisional government had abolished royal imagery overnight following Louis-Philippe's February abdication, leaving the mint without an approved coinage design for months. Private diesinkers and established engravers alike flooded the administration with proposals.
Rogat's submissions never advanced to adoption. The contract ultimately went to Jacques-Jean Barre.
