A centime is one hundredth of a franc. The coin is probably either French, or from a French colony. If it is French, it will have the Libertie, Egalite, Fraternite moto on it.

Does it have RF on it? If so, it'd be from France (RF is the abbreviation for Republique de France) A centime is 1/100 of a franc (like the cent is 1/100 of a US dollar). If not France, it's probably from a country that was settled by France--perhaps St Pierre & Miquelon, an island in the Caribbean, Tahiti or another south Pacific island.

Most probably a 1912 centime coin from France.
Is this your coin type?

A "cent" is 1/100 of a unit, and a lot of countries have used either "cent", "centime", "centimo" or something similar.
What else is written on the coin?

You'll need more clues. Any French-speaking country could have issued a "centime" -- France, Belgium, Algeria, Tunisia, French Guyana, Haiti, etc.
