Genuine Napoleonic-era French 10 Centimes coin struck in 1808 at the Paris Mint (Monnaie de Paris, mint mark A alongside the rooster privy mark of mint director Charles-Pierre de l'Espine) and engraved by Pierre-Joseph Tiolier.
Struck in billon (an alloy of 20% silver and 80% copper). The obverse features a large crowned imperial "N" monogram within a laurel wreath, while the reverse displays "10 CENT." inside a beaded inner circle surrounded by the legend "NAPOLEON EMPEREUR" and the date 1808 below.
Condition is a solid, honest circulated grade (around Fine to Very Fine): the crowned N, lettering, rooster privy mark, and "Tiolier" signature remain crisp and legible, with soft wear along the upper rim and bottom date digits (1808) plus natural silver-grey toning
