Hello. I need opinion what piece this exactly is. Most familiar coin I could find to it were Deniers from 1792-1793 that weight between 5-10 grams. My piece weights 21.6g and has a thickness of 4-5mm.

to the CCF, Nunn! Your coin looks very much like one of these. It appears that it has rim damage, similar to a spooned coin.

I can see the FRANÇAIS legend (only used in Strasbourg) and the Liberty era date (4 - which can correspond to either 1792 or 1793), so it's definitely those.
I think the AD date (under the bust) looks more like 1792 than 1793; the 3 has a large flat top. It's probably clearer in hand, though.
