1856 Cinq Centimes

[DiggingSicilia]

1856 5 centimes. Napoleon III. Milled in Strasbourg France. Odd to find in Sicily since it's a French coin. 8th coin I've found in the same acre and a half area.

Good for you, nice coin. I have found a couple of those here in eastern Canada as well, they would have been accepted as one cent coins here.
