1841 France 5 Francs - VF – King Louis-Philippe I – ASW 0.7234 oz

1841 France 5 Francs silver coin, struck during the reign of King Louis-Philippe I (1830–1848), the last monarch of France. These large crown-sized silver coins were a cornerstone of French commerce in the early to mid-19th century and remain highly collectible today.

The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Louis-Philippe I wearing a laurel wreath, symbolizing authority and stability. The legend “LOUIS PHILIPPE I ROI DES FRANÇAIS” encircles the portrait, with the engraver’s signature DOMARD·F clearly visible below. This example shows honest circulation wear with smooth fields and attractive original toning, highlighted by warm golden and amber hues.

The reverse displays the denomination “5 FRANCS” above the date 1841, framed by an elegant wreath of oak and laurel branches tied with a ribbon at the base. The edge remains well reeded, and the overall strike is well centered with strong remaining detail for its age.

Struck in .900 fine silver, this coin contains substantial precious metal content while also offering strong historical and numismatic appeal. The Louis-Philippe 5 Francs series is a favorite among collectors of French silver, European crowns, and 19th-century world coinage.
