Thank you very much for posting your coin and your comments. That is a nice example of the Ecu de Six Livres de la Convention, minted at Lyon. I...
I have cherry picked a lot of coins in my time, both U.S and World, but never a 2C small motto, (or a 1C 1858/7). Wouldn't mind finding one here...

Thank you, @NSP for the information and the link to the newsletter! very interesting. As you say, the Mega Red Book 4th Ed is probably more...
I have to admit, this one is a challenge..:) but the key thing is that you managed to clean it up, and it does show the emperor's name very...
