I was surprised as well Joecoin. It turns out they made a 100 Franc Commemorative featuring Eisenhower (50th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris), albeit in 1994. Who'd have guessed?

Ok down to a 1 in 5 chance now. I'll try to cut the number of possible dates in half again. Is the date an odd number?

5. No hole in the coin. 7. Minted in France. 8. "Cent" does not appear on the coin. 10. Silver Coin 11. Before 1873 12. Not an Eisenhower 13. After 1865 14. Not a franc 15. "A" Mintmark 16. Not a 5 Franc 17. Not an odd number |

Now a 1 in 3 chance and so I'll play the odds and pick the coin with the highest mintage remaining. My guess is that you have a French 2 Franc with the A mintmark and a date of AD 1868.

That is a sweet coin--too bad it was minted two years too late. Nice work keeping us organized @jadey!

Looks like Joecoin gets to redeem his initial guffaws with another round as Gamemaster. Congratulations and thanks for the amusing comments. Excellent game. Simple premise but requires critical thinking (or self imposed  sometimes? ) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

It is with much pride and humility that I accept my rightful place as King Joecoin.
I will endeavor to perform mu next exercise in a much more responsible manner.
