Maybe you could let me know exactly what it is and maybe a value. Regards Steve Image: french coin - heads.jpg 22.73 KB Image: french coin - tails.jpg 20.13 KB Report this Post to the Staff

toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 03/01/2006 03:01 am Ok that is a french coin in "about good" condition. It's 1855 and That is either a Duex(2) Cino (5) or Dix (10) centemes coin. I can't tell the size by the photo and the denomination is just about worn off. The Duex (2) is about the size of a one cent USA coin The Cino (5) is about the size of a USA quarter and the Dix (10) is about the size of a USA half dollar. The portrait is of Emperor Napoleon III. A cool coin, A real piece of history that has past thru many hands before reaching your collection. But sadly not worth much maybe 25 to 50 cents. If I had to guess, I think it's a Cino a 5 centemes coin. Under the eagle is a small letter. Either A, B, BB, D, K, MA, W which is the mint mark. About 15 million or more were minted with each mint mark. Edited by toast 03/01/2006 03:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
