France 1831B quart franc rev DSLR.jpg

This tiny coin was struck at Rouen under the régime of king Louis Philippe of France (1830-48). It is a better date of a type struck 1831-45. All quarter francs of this reign are of this type, which is common. It was replaced in 1845 by a twenty-five centimes piece (F.167) and demonetized in 1852. The catalog[1] notes 108 dates for the type, some very rare.

Recorded mintage: 52,107[1], 52,000[2].

Specification: 1.25 g, 0.900 fine silver, 15 mm diameter, plain edge.

Catalog reference: F.166/2, KM 740.2.
