I recently found an old coin. It is the size of a quarter with a bronze look to it. I hesitate to say gold since I know nothing about precious metals. It is dated 1853 and says Napolean III. On the front is , I assume, a profile of Napolean. On the back is an eagle with wings slightly spread. There is more writing, in French I think. The coin is in poor shape so I cannot make out much else. I would appreciate any help in identifying this coin. Thanks!
