Used for counters, and later on, as gaming chips. Edited by sel_69l 04/13/2020 08:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

If not, would should be modified etc.? France/Belgium, Undated, Copper, 24mm, Crown Jeton Counter Token Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7969 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 09:34 am If you want a more complete set of identifiers, I would say "Crown+AVE MARIA/Cross" (though I realize that's a bit much for a 2x2). A number of these French counting tokens (including yours) have as a legend the first words of the Hail Mary prayer (AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENA). https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces175792.html Edited by tdziemia 04/13/2020 09:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
