Got An Older Coin From France Today With The GTI 2500

[John-Edmonton]

Headed out after work for a hunt which has given up some decent keepers. I detected for about 1 1/2 hours and got whats in the pic, less some junk.

This is kind of a cool find. At first I thought that it was a token of some sort, but after a good cleanup, it was an older coin from France.

Below are the other keepers:

I think it is some sort of token like the Civil War tokens businesses issued in the US. I have a few of these bon pour........ tokens/coins none of which have Liberte Egalite Fraternite like all other French coins do. I think they were only issued in th 1920s for a few years after WW1 as the French Economy and Franc were hurting.

Super nice find!
