To Ant:
In case this info is still useful to you...
You appear to have a France 10 (dix) centimes coin from 1854. If the coin measures 30mm,
it is a 10 centimes. If it is 25mm, it's a 5 (cinq) centimes. If the mint marked appears to be a doubled B or "BB", it was minted in Strasbourg. If it is only one B, it was minted in Rouen.
Both the 5 and 10 centimes are bronze coins, equaling 1/20 and 1/10 of one franc respectively, similar to the U.S. nickel and dime. The 10 centimes was the largest bronze coin minted in France in that year. 50 centimes to 5 francs were minted in silver.

Ant,
My sources basically agree with with Keleum's.
An 1854 BB Dix Centimes will go about $5.00 in that condition. This is based on "Le Franc VII" 2007 edition
