A great purchase, probably directly from the country of origin. 😉 French medals and jetons are notorious for their modern restrikes, because most of the old dies were kept until today in the "Monnaie de Paris". But for this price, you couldn´t go wrong. Keep it up, and see you on the next one ! 👍 Greets from GER, U.
On September 22, 1792, the French National Convention abolished the monarchy; at the same time, it decided to let the “Year I of the Republic” (An I de la République Française) begin on this date and to oblige the state institutions to use the new, changed year. On October 5, 1793, the National Convention decided to also renew the counting of days and months. This 2nd republican calendar came into force on November 24, 1793 (4th Frimaire II) retroactively from September 22, 1792. The part of the year 1793 up to September 21st, which had been part of year II according to the previous orientation on the Gregorian calendar, was assigned to year I. The French Revolutionary Calendar was not proleptic, that is, it was not applied retroactively. For dates before September 22, 1792, Gregorian calendar dating continued to be used. The republican calendar was valid until December 31, 1805. Napoleon I reintroduced the Gregorian calendar in 1806.
You're right about modern, they mostly appear to be 20th Century restrikes. Nevertheless, they are very interesting. The LMU 5 franc coins are fantastic.
love it 😊

Is there a way to give a heads up when they coins are offered for sale and on what platform?
Lois IV wasn't Louis V father but great grandfather and succeeded the throne in 1715 at age 5.
