flippy Pillar of the Community Australia 1874 Posts	Posted 12/06/2013 04:59 am I recently bought this 1728 French Silver Coin for melt. I was able to work out that it is French and from the Reign of Louis XV, but I can't work out the denomination of the coin. Does any one know what it is? It weighs: 4.1g and its diameter is 24mm Report this Post to the Staff
