<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 49583, member: 283&quot;]Just popping in for a mo&#039; and I see discussion on my favourite subject area <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The T mint mark is for Nantes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was struck in 1791, 2, and 3 at that mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will find that during the `regne sous la loie&#039; period, on the 12 denier&nbsp; and 2 sol issues from Srasbourg (BB mint mark) he is described a `Roi Des Francais&#039; (as opposed to `Roi Des Francois&#039;). I guess he was the first French King to have that title too, eh? Or was it just that everybody knew he had that title and just thought better of putting it on a coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea as to why Francois for the majority of mint marks and Francais for Strasbourg Aidan?&nbsp;&nbsp; ;-)</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, after he had his head lopped off, the republic issues were `Francoise&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to values, these issues have seen some demand for good examples in the past few years. That one however is pretty well goosed. Collectable, but... I would say it carries a value no greater than $5 but&nbsp; who knows what some people might pay. However, they aren&#039;t that uncommon, especially in that condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian (popping back out again)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
