1834 France 5 Francs - VF – King Louis-Philippe I – ASW 0.7234 oz

1834 France 5 Francs silver coin, issued during the reign of King Louis-Philippe I (1830–1848), the final monarch of France. These large crown-sized silver coins played a major role in everyday commerce and are now highly collectible examples of early 19th-century French numismatics.

The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Louis-Philippe I wearing a laurel wreath, encircled by the legend “LOUIS PHILIPPE I ROI DES FRANÇAIS.” The engraver’s signature DOMARD·F is visible below the bust. This coin shows honest circulation wear with smooth fields and attractive original toning, including warm golden highlights.

The reverse displays the denomination “5 FRANCS” above the date 1834, surrounded by a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied with a ribbon at the base. Edge reeding remains well defined, and the overall strike is well centered with strong remaining detail for the type.

Struck in .900 fine silver, this coin contains substantial precious metal content and offers an appealing blend of bullion value and historical significance. The Louis-Philippe 5 Francs series remains popular among collectors of French silver, European crowns, and classic world coinage.
