France 1832A quart franc rev DSLR.jpg

This tiny coin was struck at Paris 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. This date is priced about 50% higher than the commonest date (1840A).

Recorded mintage: 286,060[1], 286,000[2].

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

Catalog reference: F.166/12, KM 740.1.
