Are there any pics of the reverse?

Are there any pics of the reverse? Looks like it might be a early 1700's French deniers coin.

These were the only pix he sent me, I'm not sure but the first three I figured were one side with the last the obverse, maybe they were all of the obverse?
I'll have to find out?

 

[treblehunter]

Just the obverse

Thanks Don
I don't think so, he said the reverse was smooth and didn't send any pix of it.

Pretty sure you have your wires crossed a bit, complicating this, as the first picture is not the same as the next three. Look at the first pic where the coin is eaten in a spot... that is not on any of the next three.

The first looks like the bust from a William III Irish Halfpenny. 2nd coin (bottom 3 pics) haven't thought too much about it yet.

But now that I turn the second coin 90 degrees counterclockwise, the bust image appears similar to the bust image of the 1st coin. Now thinking it's a Spanish maravedis coin.

It is an IRISH Charles the II Halfpenny.
