This dime-sized coin was struck at Paris under the régime of king Louis Philippe of France (1830-48). It is a later date of a type struck 1831-45. All half francs of this reign are of this type, which is common. It was replaced in 1845 by a fifty centimes piece (F.183) and demonetized in 1869. The catalog[1] notes 114 dates for the type, some very rare. This date is common, being priced about 25% higher than the commonest date (1841A, 1842B or 1845B).
Recorded mintage: 635,878[1], 636,000[2].
Specification: 2.5 g, 0.900 fine silver, 18 mm diameter, reeded edge.
Catalog reference: F.182/81, KM 741.1.
