I am not familiar with coins at all.

By the way, is there a way to recognize such coins? I find I still have a few that I can't make out. Or is posting here sometimes the best way?

Haasjen upload image on google image search, is already a good step, visual comparison.
found something? click on the (link below) image of it. In doing so you will discover more and more possibilities or links that refer further.. just read there and you will come a long way. good luck

I didn't know that was possible.
Tried it but you just get random old coins, so that won't work. :)

That is most certainly possible Haasjen, they are images that may look similar. Depending on the a) quality of the image, and b) clearly recognizable points, the result will be. Directly finding a good item also certainly results, but there are also many that are not found, but that look similar. And that's where the 'hunt' begins, the likes. The disadvantage here is the bad appearance, and also the photo is small and also changes (visually) when placed (technique). The real item is held in hand, and then one can study it. Is it a shield? how big is it, what does it weigh, type of material. People often don't recognize that. Example: it 'appears to have a vague shield' on it, so look for coins with a shield, result: it is 5 mm in size, it looks like copper, etc.. all things that you set a direction, combine (and yes thumbs up too) 100% no, but a start, so of course it can be something unknown, and then it becomes very difficult... good luck

Dear Haasen,

The coin comes from France and was struck between 1853 - 1857
The value of the coin is 5 (25 mm) or 10 centimes (30 mm), which cannot be deduced from the photo.
(KM 16 or KM 17)
The portrait is of Napoleon III emperor of France 1852-1870
The value is indicated under the eagle's wing.
It seems to be an archaeological find that can often be found in this state in France.
Nice to keep, unfortunately the value is not high in this condition.
Have fun collecting!
