Napoleon31ft Pillar of the Community United States 528 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 2:14 pm Well I thought that it was french but there is no year or denomination so I looked through both of my world books (1700-1800) and (1800-1900) and I could not find it at all. Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 4:07 pm This is no coin but a jeton, made in Neurenberg by Lazarus Gottlieb Lauffer (LGL). Obverse: Louis le Grand Roy de France (Louis XIV the Great, king of France) Reverse: Le repos suit la Victoire (rest comes after victory) Report this Post to the Staff
Napoleon31ft Pillar of the Community United States 528 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 4:21 pm Do you have a time period or an estimated value. I really have no clue at all. Report this Post to the Staff

This particular member of the Lauffer family was promoted to token-master in 1663 and died in 1709; Louis XIV was king of France throughout LGL's tenure as token-master, so without a date on the jeton itself, I don't think it can be narrowed down any further within that period. Quote: ...or an estimated value That's tricky; jetons aren't coins, so aren't included in the Krause catalogues. My only Louis XIV jeton was given to me as a gift, so I have no experience as to what they sell for. I'd guess no more than a few dollars. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
