This specimen was lot 43082 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2024), where it sold for $3,600. The catalog description[1] noted,
"FRANCE. Constitution. Brass 2 Sols, Year 4/1792-H. La Rochelle Mint. Louis XVI. PCGS MS-64. On account of its "...selected, slightly polished flan, sharpness of strike, and carefully filed smooth plain edge," Margolis posits that this example is in fact a specimen of presentation striking. Regardless, it offers a level of quality that is no doubt VERY RARE. From the Richard Margolis Collection (acquired from Drouot on 30 May 1981). Ex: Galerie Numismatique [Drouot] (5/1981) Lot # 521."
This coin was minted at La Rochelle 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 VG.
Recorded mintage: unknown but a common date.
Specification: 24.47 g, brass, this specimen 23.67 g.
