    This popped out of a bank issued roll of USA Half Dollars. It has the same orientation (obverse/reverse) as a USA coin. I can't even identify the country of origin. Any help is appreciated!! Photos attached. Obverse is a man facing left with a pointed beard. Reverse looks like a bird or eagle facing right??

    These forums are just incredible. Once again, I have been expertly steered in the right direction within minutes of my post. Based on diameter of my coin, I've determined this is a 10 Centimes and looks like 1859. I know it's not worth anything but still think it's cool to find a 157 year old foreign coin hiding in USA Half Dollars. Would I have preferred to find an 1859 seated liberty....oh yeah.

    10 centimes of Napoleon III. With no doubt.
