<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moustan, post: 493048, member: 8739&quot;]The bottom one looks like an early Louis 16th, before he looked like a big toad - if that&#039;s the case then it&#039;s between 1776 and 1792 ( I think, although my french history is terrible ) and thus probably quite rare/valuable. His reign was interrupted by the 1st French republic and then the French revolution in 1792/3 :S&nbsp;&nbsp; Basically there&#039;re very few of his coins left as they were melted down to mint coins of the new government and quite a lot were defaced, much like some of Tsar Nikolas II&#039;s currencies, where the hated rulers face was carved up. Oh, and all the 2 sols were very soft coins, they wore easily and for some reason a lot of them got holes in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
