Nunn New Member Estonia 17 Posts	Posted 10/19/2024 12:29 pm Hello. I need opinion what piece this exactly is. Most familiar coin I could find to it were Deniers from 1792-1793 that weight between 5-10 grams. My piece weights 21.6g and has a thickness of 4-5mm. Report this Post to the Staff

It appears that it has rim damage, similar to a spooned coin. 2 Sols - Louis XVI FRANÇOIS https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3657.html 2 Sols - Louis XVI FRANÇAIS https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16386.html or possibly 2 sous Saint-Domingue 1791 imitation du 2 sol au faisceau François https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a390556.html Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 10/27/2024 4:35 pm I can see the FRANÇAIS legend (only used in Strasbourg) and the Liberty era date (4 - which can correspond to either 1792 or 1793), so it's definitely those. I think the AD date (under the bust) looks more like 1792 than 1793; the 3 has a large flat top. It's probably clearer in hand, though. Report this Post to the Staff
