    It's a shame to see King Louis all worn out. That said, good on you for showing it! You're not the only King Louis fan on this website. ~Cheers! :D

    Not sure at all it's a T. It's more likely an I or even more a L

    Here's what the T should look like

    Nice find BTW

    Oh, and here's my Paris example

    That’s why I posted it. Wasn’t sure T or I. I’m in the I camp now. Larry

    Interesting coin!

    Looks like it went through the French Revolution

    It may have also circulated in America as lots of European coins did.

    I like the brassy metal on these.

    Hey, if you started with something unrecognizable, then things have improved.

    Neat historical relic of a turbulent time, regardless of the trials and tribulations it had.
