Hello all,
These are my finds from yesterday : nice thimbles, roman coins, 17th century coins, including a very nice 1639 double tournois of King Louis XIII.
But, I also found this... It is my first big silver coin. It is as big as a Morgan dollar !!
It was waiting for me in the vineyards.
It is a 1876 5 Francs, Hercule type. Mint is "K" which is the city of Bordeaux.
On the trim, you can read "DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE", which means "God protects France". Scratches on the back are not mine.
Yes, Yes and YES !!! Big silver feels fantastic !!!
Happy Hunting to all !
