<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 322330, member: 5580&quot;]This French 2 sols was minted in Strasbourg (mintmark BB).</p><p><br /></p><p>It was issued after the French revolution in 1789 and before the beheading of the king in 1793.</p><p>This is showing in the coin: the king is no longer king &quot;by the grace of God&quot;, but his titles (in French, no longer in Latin) are coming after &quot;the nation&quot; and &quot;the law&quot;. (Legends say &quot;LA NATION LA LOI LE ROI). Louis XVI has become a constitutional king instead of ruling by divine right.</p><p>The king is also not anymore &quot;king of France&quot; but &quot;king of the French&quot; (ROI DES FRANCAIS). He became a sort of first citizen.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have the special variety with ROI DES FRANCAIS instead of&nbsp; ROI DES FRANCOIS.
