GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 01/15/2014 11:55 am I like the looks of this coin .. but have no reference book to tell me anything about it. And my online research, did not turn up very much. It looks like it is in good condition to be so old. I am hoping some experts will have some opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 11:56 pm I am really out of my comfort zone on this one - but isn't this more of a medal or Jeton than a coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Jupke Valued Member Belgium 83 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 06:01 am swamperbob, you are absolutely correct. This is ot a coin but a medal that was created to honour the efforts of Albert and Isabella during the 80 year war. No coin value is present on the piece. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 7:48 pm Oh ... I read where it mentioned "jeton" I did not know jeton was a medal Report this Post to the Staff
Aernout Valued Member Belgium 116 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 3:27 pm Jeton is French for Token in English (or 'penning' in Dutch/flemish). The hand in the legend = mint of Antwerp (Belgium) mvg, Aernout Report this Post to the Staff
