jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 12:37 pm First 4 all appear to French, 5th one maybe Germanic or Eastern European (looks to be dates 1614?)

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/27/2015 05:57 am Left to right, top to bottom 1. 1615? Louis XIII Jeton. LVDOVICUS XIII FRANCORUM ET NAVA REX, "Louis XIII, King of France and Navarre", date side had many different legends, yours I cannot fully discern, looks like "NIS" on the left and "LIS" on the right..no idea. 2. 1570's Henri III double sol parisis. HENRICVS III D G FRAN ET P REX. "Henry III, King of France and Poland", a cross fleury centered; SIT NOMEN DNI BENEDICTVM "Blessed be the name (of the Lord)" crowned monogrammed H with 3 fleurs-de-lys. 3. 1569 Charles IX sol parisis. CAROLUS 9 DEI G. FRANCO REX. "Charles IX, King of France by the Grace of God", crowned armed escutcheon centered; SIT NOMEN D BENEDIC "Blessed be the name (of the Lord)" A cross fleury, curved, centered, with the mint of R at the intersection (Saint-Andre, Villeneuve-lès-Avignon.) 4. No date (1630s) double tournois of Louis XIII. LOYS XIII R DE FRAN ET NAV "Louis XIII King of France and Navarre", laureate bust right; DOVBLE TOVRNOIS "Double Tournois", encircled three fleurs-de-lys -- the date would be on this side. Mintmark "A" for Paris. 5. Purports to be a 16?4 German States (Brandenburg) fractional Thaler, but I think it's more likely a Spielmark or game counter due to lack of denomination and the filigree instead of legend and the diamond shape instead of a circle around the crown. Someone else might want to correct this opinion, if needed. Hope that helps.

The Brandenburg piece would actually be more interesting to me as a spielemarke! Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff
