fnd1234 Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 4:37 pm I'm trying to identify this possible jeton/medal. It looks to be a commemoration of an alliance, and I'm able to find a similar silver one of the same date with slightly different artwork, but not this specific one. I'll include a link to the similar one. Any help is appreciated! It may possibly be from the Netherlands? https://www.baldwin.co.uk/product/j...-description Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 5:11 pm @fnd, yes that one is copper rather than silver and should be smaller in diameter (31 mm vs. 51 mm for the silver ones). I found an example of your type on cng. Here is a link: https://www.cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=216860 And here is what they said about this Jeton: Quote: STUART. temp. James I. 1603-1625. CU Jeton (31mm, 6.52 g, 10h). Alliance of England, France, and the United Provinces. Struck by the Province of Utrecht. Dated 1609. · IVNCTA · CORDA · FIDELIVM · (the hearts of the faithful united...), three conjoined hearts; above, name of God in Hebrew within rayed clouds; crowned coat-of-arms below / · CONTRA · VIM · TIRANNORVM · 16 (shield) 09 (...against the violence of tyrrany), crowned lis of France, rose of England, and bound arrows of the United Provinces. MI 199/26; cf. Eimer 88; van Loon II, p. 50. Near EF, brown patina. Yet another commemoration of an alliance between France, England, and the United Provinces against Spain, this time purpose of emancipating the Provinces from the tyranny of the Spanish king was the main cause.
