    Old copper coin

    Here's an old copper coin or token found in my Granddad's stuff. On the obverse I can see III above the head, and part of a date that looks like 1861 On the back I can see EMPIRE. It measures 24mm. Any ideas?

    It's my Acadian blood, we always had a dream of owning a 10 centime.
