Not much detail left on this coin.
But I would like to know what it is.

It is a little bigger than a U.S. half dollar
so maybe 31mm

it weighs 24.4g (thick copper coin)

Obverse facing left
Reverse Looks like it has a large "1" with maybe
a wreath around it

Coin of Louis 16 of France, probably a 2 sols, and thus dated 1791, 1792 or 1793 and struck at Paris.

You've posted the reverse upside down, I think.
