This specimen was lot 43135 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Oklahoma City, OK, August 2025), where it sold for $1,140. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. Constitution. Bell Metal 2 Sols, Year 4/1792-N. Montpellier Mint. Louis XVI. PCGS MS-63. Despite some planchet irregularities stemming from the bell metal composition, this example offers a well centered and well executed strike. From the Richard Margolis Collection (acquired from Paul Bosco at San Francisco ANA Convention on 29 July 2005 for $440)." This coin was minted at Montpellier during the throes of the Revolution. 1793 was the year the king was tried and executed. Amid the chaos, large quantities of these copper two sols were issued, along with six and twelve deniers (half and one sols). The 1791-93 issues bear the bust of the king but his ouster forced the removal of his portrait. This type was hurriedly and crudely made and is rarely found better than Very Good. This date was struck in copper and brass, with the brass being scarcer.
