I found this coin with some King George V & Queen Elizabeth coins, at first I thought it was a Queen Elizabeth coin until I noticed the profile. So I looked through a magnifying glass 10X and noticed a few letters LEON so I'm thinking this is a young Napoleon coin? Can someone help identify this coin please? Thank you.

Sure does look like Napoleon.
Posting the diameter of this coin could help to determine its face value, which in this case used to be on the reverse which is completely worn on this specimen.

It would not be the first coin out of the two links above; the ribbon is wrong.

The coin should be either a 1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 franc coin, made somewhere between 1807 and 1814. The ribbons on the 1/4 franc ones extend too low, so I doubt it is one of those, but other than that, it would be hard to pin it down any further without a diameter. The 1/2 franc is 18 millimetres, the 1 franc is 23, and the 2 franc is 27.
