One of my friends has a collection she inherited from her dad. I am helping her sell off some of the coins but am not familiar with three of them. This is the first one. As it has some legend still legible, I thought it would be the easiest.
The coin is roughly the size of a US Cent. I have attached images of the obverse and the reverse. Thanks for your help.
There is no reason to doubt that this coin is in fact a French 1809I 10 centimes, KM# 676.5. There were 3.4 million minted and probable value would be under $10.-
I am french, and a collector of this coin type. I confirm this is a French 1809 I 10 centimes, but unfortunately I letter is not rare (like T and Q are). There is a lot of different graphisms for the same year/mintage.
