Description

One French Ten Centime coin with hole punch along edge through which a silver ring has been passed to form a pendant. The coin is likely brass or copper alloy. It features on the obverse a seated woman holding a child surounded by the words "Liberte Fraterinte Egalite" and the numeral 10c. The reverse features a bust portrait of a woman in a Liberty Cap surrounded by the words "Republique Francaise". Beneath the bust is what may be an artist's name but it is too obscured to read. The date on the coin is obliterated by the hole punched in it.
