JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 02/06/2011 03:15 am I think it's a jeton. I can find a reference to a Louis XV jeton dated 1751 bearing that inscription for the reverse, but nothing for Louis XIV. 1669 is the year that Louis renewed the alliance with the Turkish Empire, so I wonder if there's some sort of tie-in there.
