    Guess that is a Louis XVI coin from France, issued after the 1789 revolution but while he was still king. Cannot really read the denomination; here is a 6 deniers piece for example: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6111.html

    I think it may be a 12 Deniers based on the size and legend placements above Louis' head on the obverse. They were minted between 1791-93 at Paris, Marseilles, and Boudreaux. It is too worn to say for certain, but I think it's either 1792 or 93 BB (Boudreaux). None of the 12 deniers look rare

    Christian did most of the hard work, so it was easy for me to look it up in Krause
