WalkerMo New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 8:01 pm First Post. This old world coin is about worn out. Does anyone recognize what country this comes from and approximate date? Thanks for your input! I used the image optimizer and it turned the image sideways and I couldn't figure out how to turn it back. Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 8:24 pm Look into French coins Louis XVI- I'm guessing 1780, but the image is poor. Many look similar so the diameter and an accurate weight in grams would help. Edited by Albert 07/02/2019 8:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 11:12 am French copper of Louis XVI, Aix mint (&), probably 1780. Denomination depends on size; could be a liard (22 mm), 1/2 sol (25 mm), or sol (29 mm). The sol is the most common, so it's more likely that, but the other two are not particularly rare either. EDIT: incidentally, for future reference, the image optimizer has a function for rotating images into the correct position - it's the arrow in the upper left of the picture. Also incidentally, to the forum! Edited by january1may 07/03/2019 11:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
