1854 France 20 center and Large cent

[mainer]

Hello all got to hit a new spot today for a couple hours. Showed some very good potential. The first thing that I dug was the 20 cent peice from France. That got me excited. A few feet away was the large cent that has a date of 1831. Did manage to get an indian which isnt pictured but I think the date on it is 1887. Also got 3 buttons. All in all a great day. Cant wait to get back there. Thanks for looking and if anyone could tell me anything about the 20 cent peice it would be much appreciated. Would like to know how many were minted, and about how much it is worth. Thank you. And good luck all.

Without bothering to look it up, it's probably about $20.

15 euros would be $20.25.

I am fairly certain that French coin circulated and was accepted as money back then, my son found a 1850 one last year along with a half dime and half real at the same homestead.
