Someone cut the bust from another coin and stuck it on top of this one for some reason?

None of my references show this being minted in silver, looks like aluminum to me. Don't buy it. Another one for the book.

For anyone interested here's an image of a real 5 Francs coin. Image from NGC world coin price guide.

poor choice of words, "similar" to real.

Hopefully, if he really thought it was anything special/of value, he wouldn’t have been holding it that way.

I don't think he owns a lot (maybe not any) of the coins/tokens he posts. My interpretation is that these are coins he's looking to purchase then flip.

Or that he’s looking to make something out of nothing, for fun.

Modern high relief coins would be concave....and have the devices above the field.  Not a flat field with a device above it.

It'd be a circulation disaster with friction and wear.

OP, what is the real purpose of this thread?

Good luck.

I still think the OP is trying to get rich quick but whatever, I give up trying to figure it out. If the OP posts an interesting foreign coin I'll probably continue to reply because I enjoy seeing/researching coins and to help. I'm sure others will continue to reply as well, yourself included. 

The OP doesn't seem to be putting up as much of a defense lately. Maybe the OP is learning or just not getting the reactions they were hoping for. (shrug)
