    Any comments (besides the fact that there is a hole)?

    Grade?
    Mint?
    Value? (with/without the hole)?

    Thanks once again.

    Without the hole, maybe F/EF?

    Mint: A... sorry don't know what mint that corresponds to lol... somewhere in France I suppose (legend is Louis Phlippe I, King of France). Stab in the dark, Avignon? First city in France whose name starts with "A" that comes to mind.

    And again no idea on values.

    Mint is Paris, 25 gm of .900 silver, value pretty much melt in that condition. Even without the hole the coin wouldn't be worth much more. In higher grades, XF and up it can be a few hundred.

    Many countries in Europe devise their mintmarks alphabetically. Ie, the first French mint, Paris, would be A, the second B, etc etc.
