Description

The obverse features the portrait of Louis-Philippe I with the inscription LOUIS-PHILIPPE I ROI DES FRANÇAIS, engraved by Joseph-François Domard. The reverse displays the value ¼ FRANC within a laurel wreath with the date 1841 and the mint mark A (Paris). The edge is plain.
Coin strike. Demonetized on 1 October 1852 by the decree of 30 April 1852.
