Mrsoldmobie New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/22/2018 5:22 pm Hello there, I am new to the forum (any forum), so if there is a better way to do this, please let me know. I am new to coin collecting/hunting. My boys and I are trying to fill their penny books and a monster was born! We have had an old coin collection that has been passed down and randomly added to by us, but not really organized. So after dropping a small fortune on Amazon, we are trying to identify everything. Most of it I have on Google, but I found these. I don't even know if they are coins or who they were passed down from. Any help would be much appreciated! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 01/22/2018 6:28 pm Hi there, it is a medal I would say. The Paris mint used to strike large medals, which resemble ancient coins during the 1980s-1990s. If the edge has a marking (cornucopia), than it should be from there. Report this Post to the Staff
