My son got me this coin thinking it was an 8 reales. Turns out it's a French Ecu, with a V mint mark. Does anyone know where the French V mint was? Thanks!

Pretty nice gift and a big chunk of silver! The mint mark of "V" is Troyes according to this book entry.

Thanks Chris....I couldn't find that info!
No problem, always happy to help! :grin:
Now that's a cool Christmas gift!! :thumbsup02:
The son done good!
Way better than a new tie. Or some new undies! :hystericallaugh:
Nice gift, Drew. It is almost the size of an 8R. I bought one roman coin online cuz I know the chances of finding one are quite slim.
It's nice to have family members who know what us detector type of people really want for xmas. great gift.
