    A Jefimok Rouble. Made for Brunswick (German States) but counter marked for use in Russia because of a lack of crown sized coinage at the time.

    I still haven't been able to find out why he counterstamped some of his tokens with his own name.

    France (Compagnie La Prévoyance): 1869 silver jeton engraved by Paulin Tasset

    Here’s a closeup, and the Google Gemini AI bot’s interpretation of this design. (It refuses to do nudity, even tame neoclassical nudity like this, so I had to put in some strategically placed scallop shells.)

    It offered to create a closeup of the cornucopia and the coins (apparently having learned my interests). So of course I said yes. But the first draft it gave showed a bunch of US coins. I asked it to fix that, and we got some period-appropriate Napoleon III French coins, but I notice there is still an anachronistic Saint-Gaudens in there.

    New theme: coins or medals with exquisite artistry.

    Let's try to pretend like we're not all thirteen-year-old boys here. ;)

    Exquisite artistry” is the theme now.

    Fortunately your Swiss 5-franc piece meets that criterion as well.
