France 1826A demi-franc rev DSLR.jpg

This dime-sized coin was struck at Paris under the régime of king Charles X of France (1824-30). It is the first date of a type struck 1825-30. All half francs of this reign are of this type, which is common. It was demonetized in 1869. The catalog[1] notes 54 dates for the type, some very rare. This date is common, being priced about 25% higher than the commonest date (1829A).

Recorded mintage: 361,416[1], 361,000[2].

Specification: 2.5 g, 0.900 fine silver, 18 mm diameter, plain edge. Designed by Auguste-François Michaut, 1786-1879.
