Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 11:43 am I found this kicking around in a shop's box of unsorted material. I was able to identify it, but not date it.

1c5d7n5m Pillar of the Community Belgium 1185 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 11:07 am nice jeton indeed this non dated copper jeton (probably late 17th early 18th century) was issued by the united corporation of merchands in France, an organization that was abolished during the French Revolution obverse: seven persons lifting the globe; STAT. MVTVIS. VIRIBVS reverse bee hive surrounded by bees; SOCIETATIS. BENE. VNITÆ. reference: Feuardent F.5437 see also https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces120678.html Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not sure what the difference would be between these two catalog entries so as to determine which my specimen would be. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 4:21 pm My impression is that it's more likely copper than brass in composition, and it certainly isn't silvered, so I'd concur with F 5437. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
