southerngent Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 7:49 pm I will try this again. I would like to know what it is and when it was minted. It is the size of an old silver dollar and I believe it's silver. I sure hope the correct images are attached this time. Report this Post to the Staff

Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 08/03/2010 05:09 am Seems to say contre incendie and sur la vie which =translated means against fire and on life. It therefore appears to be an advertising token for the insurance company advertising fire and life insurance Report this Post to the Staff

maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 08/03/2010 3:56 pm From the design, I would guess 2nd half of 19th century. The engraver J.P. Braemt lived from 1796-1864. It looks like he signed Braemt F. Report this Post to the Staff
