Hi there

My husband has just found a very old french coin whilst digging the garden (we live in France btw) and wonder if anyone can tell us what it is please.

It looks like a collectors coin as opposed to a monetary one as it has no face value. On one side it says "Ministere de l'Agriculture" with a pair of scales. On the other side it says "Republique Francaise" with a head of someone we don't know.

Thank you in advance for any help.
Tracey

Yeah, a pic would be great. There are several medals/tokens as you described. I like the idea you found it in a garden.

Thanks everyone for your interest. I will try to get a decent pic of both sides of the coin and will return. Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to upload it - not being terribly computer literate lol.
