Description: A very choice and beautifully toned 5 Francs large sized crown from France. A great opportunity for the collector. Charles X of France, also known as Charles-Philippe de France, was the last Bourbon monarch to rule as King of France. He reigned from 1824 until his abdication in 1830. Charles X was born on October 9, 1757, as Charles-Philippe de France, and he became the Count of Artois before ascending to the throne.Key points about Charles X include:Early Life: Charles X was the younger brother of Louis XVI and initially held the title of Count of Artois. During the French Revolution, he emigrated from France and lived in exile, particularly in Britain. Restoration of the Monarchy: Following the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Congress of Vienna in 1814, the Bourbon monarchy was restored in France. Louis XVIII, Charles's elder brother, became king. Upon Louis XVIII's death in 1824, Charles X ascended to the throne. July Ordinances: Charles X faced political challenges during his reign, including tensions between royalists and liberals. In 1830, Charles attempted to limit the power of the constitutional monarchy through a series of ordinances, sparking the July Revolution. July Revolution: The July Revolution of 1830 resulted in widespread unrest and the fall of Charles X. Faced with opposition, he abdicated the throne in favor of his grandson, the Duke of Bordeaux (Henri, Comte de Chambord). However, the July Monarchy was established, and Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, became the "Citizen King." Exile and Death: After abdicating, Charles X went into exile in England. He lived there until his death on November 6, 1836, at the age of 79. Legitimist Cause: Charles X's grandson, Henri, Comte de Chambord, became the symbolic leader of the Legitimist movement, which sought to restore the Bourbon monarchy in France. However, the July Monarchy and subsequent regimes prevented the restoration.Charles X's reign and the events leading to his abdication played a significant role in shaping 19th-century French history. The July Revolution marked the end of the Bourbon Restoration and paved the way for a constitutional monarchy under Louis-Philippe.
