Old Spanish Coin?

[Sand-duner]

Hey everyone, this is my first post here, so I hope I don't do anything wrong! I actually found this coin in a tin my dad had stashed away in a file cabinet. After my dad passed I was going through his things and came across it and some wheat pennies and an older French coin. I just recently started into coins, so I had a question about this particular one. I have been looking through the site and I believe it is some sort of Spanish coin, but not sure about much more than that.

You did everything right, just unlucky on the coin.

Welcome to Treasure Net Sand duner!!

Sorry about the replica; maybe the French coin is a winner. Care to post it?

Thanks for the welcome. Just out of curiosity, how can you tell it's a replica?

About the other coin, I already looked it up, it was easy to find. I'd say it's in VG condition. It's a 1916 10 centisme (sp?) coin from France. It's not worth much, but it is a nice looking coin.

After you look at so many you just know.

10 Centimes.

The easiest way to tell is that its not silver. It appears to be a shiny pot metal replica. I would love to see the cross side. Do you know how old it is?
