Henri V never ruled. The "Module de 5 Francs" of 1830 is a medallic piece issued by legitimist supporters of Henri, Comte de Chambord, the Bourbon pretender whose claim to the French throne collapsed when the July Revolution installed Louis-Philippe within days of Charles X's abdication. These modules were produced privately as political tokens of loyalty rather than official currency — they circulated among royalist sympathizers as a form of protest coinage, never sanctioned by any mint authority.
The variety designation in Collignon and the X# classification confirm its medallic rather than monetary status. Multiple die varieties are known from this issue.
