French Copper 1710-1712

[West Jersey Detecting]

This coin was found in an old farm field yesterday by my friend Jason, who does not have a digital camera. I was thinking Spanish, but it looks as if the word France is on it. I was surprised French coins did not say Francaise. It is copper and 25 mm diameter.

UPDATED: THANKS FOR THE ID IRON PATCH!!

You guys find too much more iron, you might want to think about opening up a smelter.....help out the economy, and keep
some jobs in the States. Nice coin.....and an oldie. For sure, if that coin is there, then what else might be there, is
anything from the date of the coin to the present......really leaves the field open, doesn't it.
Good job. Good hunt and hunt site. Keep us posted.
