Spent the day on one of my permissions with Navy Davy. Long haul for these 2 old timers. ND managed 4 buttons which he will post whilst I this lot.

Navy Davy whose eye sight is much better than mine noticed that one of the large coppers had a crest containing 3 fleur-de lies and a reverse with a bust facing left. Think it's French and has a crown above the crest. Any thoughts?

Any old French coins are good finds in my book.
