Hope this isn't too small. Can't identify this one. Appears to be some sort of French medal. "26 Janvier 1906" "F.J. Parsons" "1723" Google has nothing to offer
1906 king Louie XV royal argent Bronze medal. Awarded To Frederick hemming parson Obverse: (I'm not the one taking pics or they would be higher quality)
Can't find another like it. More info: The words circling king George: "Lud xv Rex Christianissimus" Under king George: "Llanc" Reverse Nunc quoque Regia solis Jan 26, 1906 Batinend du Roy 1723
The only coins/jettons known with that obverse were minted in the late 1710's and early 1720's. The reverse roughly translated from Latin is The Palace of the Sun. From what I can tell the "26 Janvier 1906" and "F.J. Parsons" may be counterstamped onto the piece but we really need better pics. You may have an undiscovered 1723 jeton which would be very cool, but if you could get clearer pics of the reverse it would really help. "Batinend Du Roy" is something "of the king" but I have no clue what batinend is. Google searches turn up nothing as well. Here's your F.J. Parsons: http://www.sussexpostcards.info/publishers.php?PubID=215 Would make sense for him to counterstamp pieces although according to exonumia.com no F.J. Parsons counter stamp is known.
From that pic it definitely looks like a counter stamp. I'll keep looking when I get off work tonight and see if I can't find anything. Hopefully somebody who knows more about jetons than I do will step in.
The pictures that you posted are very difficult to read, but that looks like a restrike of a 1723 "Batimens du Roy" jeton. It depicts the great court and palace of Versaille. It was most likely made around the time of the engraving or a little earlier, but it's hard to tell. Does it have a thick or thin planchet? Is there a stamp or privy mark on the edge?
