wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 06/10/2009 10:35 am The fleur-de-lys is used by more than one Royal house.England uses it a lot , look at the prince of wales emblem. Ive seen that particular design before.Probably when I was heavy into condor tokens and colonials. Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 06/10/2009 5:04 pm This is a French copper coin in the name of Louis XVI, possibly a sol. It was issued prior to the French Revolution of 1789. This coin was intended to circulate in France. Report this Post to the Staff
wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 06/11/2009 4:56 pm Yup , Colonial would have been Louis XV and the bust facing the other way. The heraldic design did indeed appear on Colonial coppers just as that one is , wrong Louis though. Report this Post to the Staff
