<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 7720921, member: 40017&quot;]French coinage is not really my thing, but I bought a large quantity of mostly 20th century for little money. Amongst the mostly junk bin coinage there were these three, which seemed a bit better:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1323732[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1323733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1323734[/ATTACH] </p><p>First is a Double Tournois of Louis XIII 1611, Paris. Interesting over-strike Y/D on the obverse.</p><p>Second is a Sol of Louis XVI 1790, Rouen. I see quite a few, but rarely better than washers.</p><p>Third is 5 centimes of Napoleon III, 1853 Paris. Anyone into French coinage/history able to tell me the significance of the TOGS counterstamp?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
