Le Franc Les Essais, Les Archives - Charles X (1824-1830) - Edition 2024

After Le Franc, les Monnaies, les Archives (2019) and Le Franc d?Augustin Dupré (2021), discover Le Franc, les Essais, les Archives?a six-volume encyclopedia (2023?2027) that deepens and expands our understanding of the history of the Franc from 1803 to 1870.

Following the first two volumes dedicated to Napoleon I (1803?1815) and Louis XVIII (1814?1824), the third volume, focused on Charles X (1824?1830), is released to mark the bicentenary of his accession to the throne on September 16, 1824. However, the king would not be crowned in Reims until May 29, 1825.

The release of three volumes in a single year is not the result of a sprint, but the culmination of a nearly thirty-year-long marathon devoted to the study of the Franc. Spanning 544 pages, this new volume draws extensively on both written and numismatic archives to immerse the reader in the monetary history of Charles X?s reign.

Clear, authoritative content, a meticulously detailed catalog, accurate market-based valuations, high-definition illustrations, and a unique gallery combining coins and minting tools?all these elements make this book an essential reference for collectors, historians, and anyone passionate about numismatics.
