swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 11:52 pm French jetons of the period are very numerous and I have never seen a complete catalog or anything even nearly complete. I have a box of them someplace that I bought for next to nothing and have seen only one or two in any catalog. Prices are never given and rarity is usually unknown. The metal used is key to any value - brass and copper examples are usually priced under $20 but silver examples exist and can get very pricey. I enjoy looking at them to get a feel for engraving techniques used at different times. The French were ahead of most countries in terms of medallic arts until the 19th century.

Coin Noob Valued Member Canada 103 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 11:21 am I'm curious if you have ever seen this exact one anywhere? I found several/many similar ones using the keywords on it, but could never find this exact coin. ( I didn't realize it actually said Jeton on the label of the coin. I couldn't make out what it was ) Report this Post to the Staff

The reverse says PAX OMNIBUS (Peace to All). You can find examples is worse condition that have sold for $10-15 (27 zloty = $8): https://archiwum.allegro.pl/oferta/...3340301.html https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...e=1&_fosrp=1 Yours would be worth more due to the condition.
