Centu Coin
What coin do you think this could be?
It’s a British penny… well I think it is. I have 2 other coins that look simmilar to this and they are british pennies from the 1800s. One from 1897, one I can only make out 18 because they are all damaged a bit. The one I’m trying to find out is my oldest one from my coin collection. It says 185(something) and I can’t figure out what it is or what year it is, though I think it’s a British penny. It has a man on one side, and an eagle on the other side. It’s a reddish bronze/brown color and is lined inside a circle. Outside is a ring that says (this is all i can make out) Centu…I’m thinking it’s century. The other side says Empereur and poleur or something like that (thats all i can see around the damage)
Do any of you guys have an idea of what this could be?
Thanks in advance (:
My best guess is a France 2, 5, or 10 Centimes from the reign of Napoleon III.
Obverse: Napoleon III Empereur YEAR [1852-1857] {portrait of Napoleon III}
Reverse: Empire Francais DENOMINATION [Deux (2), Cinc (5), Dix (10)] Centimes {Eagle}
What is the diameter of the coin?
