ZuluRaptorSpace & Idolenz

I showed your suggestions to my wife and she reckons that you are "some very clever people"

(She doesn't say that about me!)

You should also ask on the French side; they should know for sure it is a French coin after all. They could know if it's a fake or jeton or what not.
