Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 06/07/2014 6:48 pm Picked this up in an antique shop recently for £4. Weight 2.8g. Having googled a bit, I have identified it as a jeton made by Wolf Laufer of Nuremburg in 1615, to commemorate the coronation of Louis XIII of France at Rheims in 1610. It shows traces of a silver wash/coating. Is it genuine? I read of some royalty around then handing out similar pieces to crowds as a publilicty stunt at major events. This would be a few years too late for that. Was it for use on a counting table? If not, what was it for? Report this Post to the Staff

vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 06/08/2014 08:48 am Hello anaximander, It looks genuine to me. And where it used for. If you look at this site below. There is an explenation about jetons from france, nurnberg and others. Very interesting. http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/nuremberg-jetons.html There are silver jetons. But yours doens't look like one to me. Maybe some else can tell more about it in particulair. Regards, Vincent Report this Post to the Staff
