[QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 1261759, member: 27100"]Nice find! Yours is a 2c coin from France. Each country has its own set of reverses; for this coin, it's the personification of France (similar to Lady Liberty), with the monogram "RF" (Republique Française"). The grooved edge is to aid the blind, to distinguish it from the other 'bronze' coins 1c and 5c. In a similar way, the 'Nordic gold' 10c and 50c coins have a reeded edge, but the 20c has a scalloped edge. Hope that helps![/QUOTE]
