<p>[QUOTE="Hispanicus, post: 2147176, member: 72626"]I've had this coin since high school and had thought that it was a government issue piece, however, it doesn't have the fleur de lis I would normally associate with a French coin. My feeling is that it may be from the early 1790's prior to Louis' beheading when France briefly had a constitutional monarchy. It could be a token or an issue by a local government entity. The flan appears to be brass with a fairly thin silver wash. I was in a hurry to get out the door this morning and didn't have a chance to weigh it, but it does measure between 25.5 - 26 mm. Any information or a link to a good website will be greatly appreciated. </p><p>Thanks</p><p>[ATTACH=full]411495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]411496[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
