Could anyone help with this coin please, I am trying to find out if this is a rare coin, dated 1710 M Louis XIV 1/2 Ecu Castle Tower Mint, coin weight is 14.63 grams & silver.
Any information is appreciated.

Thanks & I appreciate your time, not worried about value, more interested in what they were & to learn more about them so I know in the future if I come across similar looking coins, fairly accurate first assumption I would say....good stuff & I think this one can be ticked off now.

I have double checked, sorry but I forgot to Tare scales before adding coin to hanger, they came back slightly higher this time 1902 = 8.7 & 1901 = 8.4 (Checked & double checked)

I will double check & do the specific gravity test again.

Thank you for your help, apologies for saying not plated but it was deeply scratched on edge & tested with white fluid on the scratched area with no reaction.However I understand what you are saying and take this information on board.I carried out the specific gravity test on both coins, the 1902 coin came back 7.90 & the 1901 coin came back 7.63.
Many thanks

Found these 2 coins in a mixed lot, both appear to be silver in colour & off metal strike(Not plated, tested edge with white fluid & no usual signs of being plated) the 1902 Edward VII Halfpenny compared to a normal coin is a thicker planchet at nearly 2mm, weight is 5.9 grams & 26mm, the coin has some wear to high spots but otherwise is in very good condition.The 1901 Victoria Farthing is very similar in appearance & weight is 2.88 grams & 21mm.
Can anyone help with identification of what these might be.
Thank you
