zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/14/2009 12:07 am I tried a few different tricks with this one. I cant get a good shot of the reverse near the bottom. It is sharp in detail. I have never seen one of these, so I do not know what detail is suppose to be on the head. It seems to be silver.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/14/2009 2:06 pm Try taking the coin out of the 2x2 and take the pictures again. This coin is the Standard issue of the Federated States/French Union. issued in 1946 and 47. there are two types KM#32.1 with a security edge and KM#32.2 with a reeded edge. The first being the more valuable issue. From what I can tell from your pictures your coin looks to be EF-40. Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 04/14/2009 4:32 pm There seems to be significant wear on the lions head (obverse). I would call this piastre VF. Here is one for comparison: http://www.vcoins.com/world/wng/sto...dProduct=690 Also Krause lists this coin as copper-nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/14/2009 6:45 pm Thanks for the help! The link from snowman help greatly. Mine is no different than that one. It is a little tarnished as you could see. There is no wear on the coin at all. So I will guess VF to EF border. Report this Post to the Staff
