Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 03:55 am I believe it's a French jeton. See this previous thread: http://goccf.com/t/72609 Report this Post to the Staff
BuyGuns Valued Member United States 335 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 04:31 am Hello Kush. Yes, it was my thought as well, but I know nothing about these type coins/Jetons, but saw a number of pictures that referred to them as Jetons. Very similar to this one. But it would be nice to attribute it to a time frame, etc. Thanks for your input. May have to move this post. Report this Post to the Staff
