France 1819A quart franc rev DSLR.jpg

This tiny coin was struck at Paris under the régime of king Louis XVIII of France (1814-24). It is a better date of a type struck 1817-24. Unlike Napoleonic quarter francs, which are divided among six types, all quarter francs of this reign are of this type, which is fairly common.

The catalog[1] notes 35 dates for the type, some very rare. This date is scarce, priced about four times the common date (1817A or 1824A).

Recorded mintage: 11,320[1], 11,000[2].

Specification: 1.25 g, .900 fine silver, 15 mm diameter, plain edge.

Catalog reference: F.163/15, KM 714.1.
