bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 02/03/2012 4:20 pm This could probably be a sol of Louis XV (France), or, depending on the size, a liard or a 1/2 sol. Date between 1768 and 1774. Report this Post to the Staff
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 02:23 am I agree with 'bart'. It is French but in the coins of Louis XV that I have seen he faces left. Louis III (1610-1643) and Louis XIV (1643-1715) both face right and both are crowned with wreaths. Hard to guess the denomination. Report this Post to the Staff
holloway_chris New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 02:51 am Thanks for th help. The coin is 29mm Not sure if this helps with the ID, but the head on the back is not up the same way as the image on the front (i.e. the base of the head is on the same 'edge' of the coin and the top of the front image. Any thoughts on what it would be worth? Report this Post to the Staff
