7 posts • viewed 62 times

 Hello

 

Can u help me with this coin? Is this an original or a falsification? And what is it worth? 

Someone informed me that the “F” and “A” marks are signs of counterfeiting and that this is not an original coin.

Diameter: 28mm 

Weight: I do not have the weight without cover. I bought the coin on a flea market.

 Looks original. 1853 - mintage 704,853 coins. 

Not understanding - what F - what A - and where?

They said the ‘F’ and ‘A’ in L'union Fait La Force. Just above the lion.

I see nothing wrong with that F and A. Looks like the others

 Fait is a French word meaning do
