Coins are estimated up to XF. It does not seem that these currencies exist in AU.

he point after the D of 6 - D is almost always very little visible.

Of course the legend of reverse L'AN 4 is for the year 1792 ... in 1793 we read L'AN 5.

I discovered the variant C1 and I see that it meets more rarely. The sellers who have not yet had knowledge of this variant, have therefore sold these coins at the same price as those without the point. So I slightly increased the estimate of the type without a point to estimate this variant.
