It is from France, King Louis XVI (Louis the Sixteenth), denomination 2 sols, bronze, 1791 "A" mint mark (for Paris). In this condition, retail is anywhere from $2 to $10.
These can be pricey in high grade, but they are not too difficult to find in lower grades. The fact that the coin is a bit larger-sized helps its desirability.
This specimen is well worn, but somebody will want it as a historic artifact from the early part of the French Revolution. Of course, in 1793, the King was guillotined.
France 2 sols Louis XVI, probably worth less than a dollar in this condition.
