Old looking coin. What is it?

[Braxton Sallis]

I found this old looking coin in a free coin basket at a local pawn shop and was wondering if anyone knew what it was and if so what it is worth.

Looks like a French Louis 16th coin to me, date about 1792....Nice find

Free basket Really!!!!! That's odd We spend lots of money on equipment years and years of trudging through fields ,digging plugs ,fighting skeeters for a coin like that.. Boom tossed in a free basket!!!!Kinda funny if ya think about it...

I agree with Frankyg. Here is what I could find in the 2010 Krause catalog.



The markings are different. Maybe yours is a variety or a Jeton. Great find - especially for free.

It might be a France 2 sols 1792 Lyon mint.
