5 Sols Monneron Freres portrait discussion

3 posts
On another day, I bought myself a 5 Sols Monneron Freres coin. The first revolutionary coin with a great design. While I was studying the coin, I wondered all the time about the portrait under the constitution. What do u think, is it a Lois XVI, Maximilien de Robespierre or someone else?

With the prominent nose it looks like Louis to me

​Yes, I agree- the scene depicted, on the first anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille (14th July 1790), was the Fête de la Federation, intended to celebrate the new order of constitutional monarchy in France (which with hindsight would not last very long).
