After the collapse of Napoleon's empire during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the new Third Republic superseded all the imperial types with the "Cérès head" type of 1870-71. This, in turn, was superseded by a revival of the "Hercules" type of the Second Republic, issued 1870-78. The date shown here, 1874-A from the Paris mint, is common. It was officially withdrawn from circulation in 1928 and demonetized in 2005 but ceased to circulate in France after World War One.
Recorded mintage: 7,999,000.
Specification: 25 g, 0.900 fine silver, .7234 troy oz AGW, 37 mm diameter, edge lettered DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE, after a design by Augustin Dupré (1748-1833).
Catalog reference: F.334/12, KM 820.1, Dav-92.
