Please help me - this coin looks L'AN 6 R (not in my catalog). Really scarce or not? Do you know any site with French coins?

I don't think it's a 6 it looks more like a 5 which would make it KM#640.10 (Orleans mint. Condition looks AG-3 @$10.00 US.

Just another 2 centimes on the matter:

I see a 5 here-- the top left of the number doesn't look like a curved line so much as straight. I think that makes this the F115.11 in the Franc VII, values 3 euro/ 20 euro/ 70euro in grades 10/25/45.

There was no 6R. This is a 5R in low B condition. Mintage 5,451,000, and value currently about 2-3 euros according to Le Franc VII (2007). If it were mine, I'd be carrying it in my pocket.

A good site for French coins is https://www.cgb.fr.
