My best find to date 1830 silver 5 Franc, found in an area where there are an old civil war campground in Smyrna, GA.

The king on the picture is Charles the X of France, he was kicked out as king same year as this coin was minted in August of 1830 and a new king was inserted.
The mint is Nates, France and 136,805 was minted there that year.
