| Aanvullende informatie |
Authorized by the Legislative Assembly in June 1791, the "François" coinage was part of a deliberate constitutional rebranding — Louis was redesignated "Louis XVI, King of the French" rather than "King of France," a distinction loaded with political meaning as sovereignty shifted nominally to the nation. The dies were prepared accordingly, and minting began across multiple provincial facilities as the monarchy lurched toward its final crisis.
Production ran into the regicide. Striking continued into early 1793 at some mints even after Louis was guillotined on January 21st, making certain mint-marked examples technically posthumous issues struck under a republic that had already abolished the institution they depicted.
