Comments

Some workshops have added a half-yearly dot to indicate a strike in the second half of the year: it is located under the L in LOI for Paris and Lille; under the workshop letter for Metz, Rouen and Marseille; under the last E in REGNE for Bayonne.

Only the Paris production figure is known, with 1,120,952 copies. The total number produced by all other workshops is estimated at 1.4 million, for a total of around 2.5 million ecus of 6 livres produced in 1793.

Certains ateliers ont ajouté un point semestriel pour indiquer une frappe au second semestre de l'année : il se situe sous le L de LOI pour Paris et Lille ; sous la lettre d'atelier pour Metz, Rouen et Marseille ; sous le dernier E de REGNE pour Bayonne.

Seul le chiffre de fabrication de Paris est connu avec 1 120 952 exemplaires. Le tirage de l'ensemble des autres ateliers est estimé à 1,4 million pour un total d'environ 2,5 millions d'écus de 6 livres produits en 1793.
