Dav-1335; Gad-55; KM-615.1. Struck at the height of the French Revolution, with royalist counter revolutionaries in Marseille helping to provoke the Reign of Terror that resulted in mass executions all across France. As for Louis XVI himself, he was executed on Monday, January 21, 1793 by guillotine. The tooling seems to be a spot near the date where a planchet inclusion has been pried loose.
