Got this modern looking French coin at the flea market a while back. By modern looking I mean it looks like the traditional design in the whole picture, but not as much in the details. Notice the obverse looks pretty flat and the Sower's face looks pretty disproportioned. It's pretty dirty as well, most likely from sitting in the same foreign coin bin forever. It's made of nickel and worth only about $0.40.
I found this coin in the parking lot out side of a bowling ally in Goshen a long with a lot more coins. Since this coind looked interesting I kept it and did a little history on it. I'm still trying to figure out the whole thing around this coin.
