    I know the 1808 is from France and I had the 1811 identified as France too, but looking at them next to each other I don't think it is. The 1811 is smaller and seems to be a different denomination, but I can't make it out. I don't know much about this era. Can someone tell me where the 1811 is from? 1808 france 10 centimes.jpg 1811 napoleon 10.jpg

    Probably a 10 Centesimi from the Kingdom of Napoleon in Italy.
    They look similar to the French ones.

    Edit: Both the 10 Centimes (1808) and 10 Centesimi (1811) are listed as 18 mm, 2 grams, 20% silver, 80% copper. So I'm not sure why they would have different diameters, unless maybe they are slightly different thicknesses.

    The one with the spikey crown is from the Italian state as mentioned above.

    Yes, the "M" under the 1811 date is for the Milano mint. And in Italian is written Napoleone Emperor and King
