Hello everyone! I created a thread before regarding three coins I had found. I am now posting 25 out of 50 coins, and then I have a few more older ones I will share. I will number each coin to make it easier to refer to them. I would like to know: what it is, possible usage, real/fake, and possible worth. I did my best when it came to picturing and resizing them. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.
Like the Vitellius in the other bunch, 6 and 17 are tokens honoring old Romans. 17 is Julius Caesar and copies (loosely) a known coin. 6 is uncertain to me but I'll guess the intent was Caligula. That guess is if, and only if, the last letter in the obverse legend is 'N'. The reverse is original so it helps nothing. There are a few of us that find tokens like these three interesting because they show an interest in history among earlier generations. I don't know if token people would value them more highly than I would, but I believe they are worth as much as any of your real ancients.
I see now all my numbers were one off since I was looking at the number under the coin rather than above it. Sorry.
20. French Colonies, Charles X (1824-1830). I guess Paris Mint. Can't see if 5 or 10 Centimes, can't read the year either. 24. French jeton, Louis XIV (1638-1715).
