    Got this last week. It's a big one: 27 g, about 39 mm diameter.
    I had trouble making out some of the text, so here's a better one.

    "VIVRE LIBRES OU MOURIR, 14 JUILLET 1790"
    "MEDAILLE DE CONFIANCE DE CINQ-SOLS, REMBOURSABLE EN ASSIGNATS DE 50.ET AU DESSUS. L' AN IV DE LA LIBERTE"
    "MONNERON FRERES NEGOCIANS A PARIS 1792"

    I was going to look up some info on it, but looks like another member found one a few years ago, so I'll just link to that thread.
