This is the last in the Allegiance to the Constitution series that shows the last type of reverse inscription and legend. The most pronounced feature is the "REVOLUTION FRANCAISE" legend which escaped most of the other 5 Sol issues. The reverse inscription is 4 line "MEDAILLE QUI SE VEND 5-SOLS A PARIS CHEZ MONNERON PATENTE." The edge inscription includes 'DEPARTMENTS' with an "T", a scarcer sub-type [Reynaud]. It's has a L'AN IV - 1792 date. This is one of the scarcer varieties, known as the 3rd type. Please see the other Monneron specimens for further details.
