FRENCH COLONIES1843 - 5 CENTIMES FINE GRADE PRETTY 19th CENTURY BRONZE ISSUE! Solid fine example of this 5 Centimes bronze issue from France issued for general use in the West Indies Adequate fine detail and naturally pretty deep brown appearance Minimal marks considering age and issue but reverse has too much center wear to make any higher grade Hard coin to find even this nice and it will make a wonderful, meaningful addition to most World coin collections! The scanned images depict this coin fairly well, but can't due justice to the overall appearance of this 5 Centimes coin from the French Colonies, issued in 1843. Solid bronze coin with just normal, even wear for the very fine grade obverse but the reverse carries heavier center wear. Very pretty natural deep brown color and terrific bright eye appeal. Minimal marks considering issue and age. Obverse depicts laureate head of Charles X facing to left. Reverse value within wreath with date and mint mark "A (Paris)" to left of date. If you can live with the heavier wear reverse center, this is a wonderful example from the early 19th Century West Indies for any collection. This item was part of my husband's collection. He is terminally ill with cancer and wants me to sell all of his private collection, coins and currency. I have three minor children to raise and so I comply. If read more
