FRANCE: Louis XVIII, First reign, 1814-1815, AR 5 francs, 1814-A, KM-702.1, Gad-59, a lovely example with a few faint hairlines, AU. When the Sixth Coalition finally defeated Napoleon in 1814, Louis XVIII was placed in what he, and the French royalists, considered his rightful position. However, Napoleon escaped from his exile in Elba and restored his French Empire. Louis XVIII fled, and a Seventh Coalition declared war on the French Empire, defeated Napoleon again, and again restored Louis XVIII to the French throne.

Estimate: 200-300 USD
