Coins are estimated up to AU. Even though some years never meet above XF.

The point after the D of 3 - D is almost always very little visible.

DL (closed off) and D without lower bar, mentioned by '' Monnaies Françaises 1789 - 2017 '' Editions Victor Gadoury, page 25. I added my comments on the cedilla, the symbol and the point under the U. I have not chosen to classify the '' little bust '' which is, for me, a simple shift of the bust, as confirmed by the book cited above, still on page 25.

1792 I (Limoges) rare above F.

1792 I (Limoges) with or without symbol: no variant is less common than the other.

1792 I (Limoges) (---)  A1, B2: the emphasis on the word LIBERTÉ is always absent with this variant without symbol.
