I'd hold out for opinions from the pros here, but it looks to me like a replica of a Judean coin.
A jeton is a token, whether it was issued as a counter (early on), or as game pieces, or as gifts to local employees or party attendees, or...
Have I posted this one yet? :smile [ATTACH]
I could be wrong, but I'm a bit suspicious of that one, if for no other reason than the state of preservation. It looks far better than others...
That is a French jeton from the mid-1600's, and a very difficult find if you ask me. It's an original strike, I have a similar later-date...
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...
Good info, thanks for posting. I think I may have one or two of these pennies around somewhere. I do have a couple Edward I Anglo-Gallic issues,...
Here's one of my few earlier dates, 1671 - [ATTACH]
Hey Q, thanks for the link. Nice examples you have there. I don't have many early examples yet, they can be very difficult to find in higher grade.

And here are two more, the first is a 1684 August de Pomereu jeton, second is an 1842 Prefecture de la Seine jeton. And many thanks to those who...

Here is a silver English jeton, dating 1630. Not in the best condition, but I really liked the portrait- Charles I - Dominion of the Sea (N....
I'm not familiar with NGC or tpg standards, and am interested in an answer to this, too. I have always assumed the tpg guarantee of...
A more recent pickup - [ATTACH]
Lol! Oops, I wasn't paying close atteention I guess....
Yep, looks like an English medal to me.. of which I know next to nothing, unfortuately. I do have a couple of English jetons though, I may bring...
Great info Chris, thanks! I really need to research the engravers, there are many great artists to learn about. And yes, that's a stamp under...
Hi Chris! I didn't know about the Italian roots, that's good to know. I've seen (or heard of) French jetons dating back to the 1300's, but my...
Here's another of my favorites. The oval shape is uncommon for jetons, but the intricate design really appeals to me. I couldn't find much...
