Tomten Valued Member Sweden 159 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 1:45 pm Hello there. I've got this little coin/token in my collection. I saw some topic from years ago here, that had the same ?obverse? I think, but not the same rev.. Anyone know what this is? A German token perhaps? Thanks everyone! Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 2:24 pm It appears to be a medal of Nicolaus 1st of Russia 1796-1855 (NICOLAUS KAIS.V.RUSSLAND), on the reverse is the word for Justice and and figure of seated Justice holding scales. Report this Post to the Staff

Beyond a doubt it talks about Nicholas I of Russia. On the other hand the effigy looks more like Alexander I. I wonder if it's one of those "pseudo-political" German card counters.

Tomten Valued Member Sweden 159 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 4:08 pm Yes, I was merely wondering if it was a Medal or not. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 8:23 pm Yep, it's a Nuremberg rechenpfennig, or jeton. This French coin forum has one posted with the same obverse, but a different reverse that has "IETTON" in the exergue. The "SLL" in the exergue of your reverse are the initials of the maker, presumably an "S.L. Lauer". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
