It actually is a piece of 1 centime and if I think it is the design that was started during the French revolution.</p><p>On the reverse it should read &#039;UN CENTIME L&#039;AN &quot; and a number. This number should be a 6,7 or 8 and is the year, based on the revolution calender 6 =1797-98, 7 =1798-1799; 8=1799-1800. The letter big A under this text on the reverse is a sign that it was minted in Paris, France.</p><p><br /></p><p>This piece should weigh around 2 gram, should be 18 mm in daimeter and consist of bronze. The edge is a smooth edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>As already stated, the pictures are not sharp enough, but do know that pieces in good (and I mean the numismatic condition of it, in US graded as G-10) are rated between 2 and 100 euro (=2,5 to 125 USD).</p><p><br /></p><p>You should try to make some better pictures and spend some time examening the actual coin, since several varieties exist of this coin. The varieties are based on the number of pearls near the edge on obverse and reverse. Year 7 is also known to be an overdate on year 6.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am looking forward to hearing the results of your further examination![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
