Martinez190 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 11:09 pm It's a 20 Sols issued by the French during the Siege of Lille 1708. The wording says "For the defense of the city and country 1708". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Lille_(1708) Edited by Martinez190 02/27/2013 11:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Gazot Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 9:34 pm Thanks all. Any clue to value? It is part of my long lost token collection that has been in hiding and recently rediscovered after 30 years. Back then there was no internet search engines so if it was cool I kept it. Didnt care if it had a value. It is the size of aUS fifty cent piecebut half as thick. Gaz Report this Post to the Staff
