20 Francs - Charles X

Charles X's reign produced this gold 20 Francs against a backdrop of mounting constitutional crisis. His government's July Ordinances of 1830 — suspending the press, dissolving the newly elected Chamber, and narrowing the electorate — triggered the Three Glorious Days revolution within hours of publication. Minting continued at Paris through the final months before his abdication, meaning the latest-dated pieces in this series were struck while barricades were going up in the streets outside.

Three Fleury reference numbers reflect the Paris, Lille, and other provincial mint issues across the reign's six years.
