aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 1:32 pm The first commemorative appears to be a jeton BANQUE DE FRANCE AN VIII (1800) by Dumarest. The Bank of France was founded in 1800 and this is a commemorative 'jeton de presence' given to directors of the bank when attending board meetings. Are there markings on the edge? The second is, presumably,to commemorate Gustav Stresemann who was Chancellor of Germany for a brief period in the 1920's.

spring423 Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 06/08/2015 3:07 pm Mine has everything that shows on the one that you posted, except mine does not show any numbers. Just the symbol and the word argent. Report this Post to the Staff
Dagaz Valued Member Slovenia 459 Posts	Posted 06/08/2015 3:31 pm Yeah, that number is a mystery to me too. I think it is some kind of a marking in a system telling if coin/token is silver/silver plated/gilded/something third. If the symbol (horn of plenty) is the same, then yeah, Paris mint. The same symbol you'll also find on French Euro coins (and most of those minted in Paris mint). :) Report this Post to the Staff
