<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 199854, member: 283&quot;]It&#039;s a jeton issued for the `Kings Counsel&#039;, the king in this case being Louis XIV of France. The obverse legend should read Nil Nisi Consilio (`nothing without counsel&#039;) around a crowned shield of France.v The reverse has `Victory&#039; flying.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Different jetons were issued on a yearly basis (sometimes two or three different designs) for the various admininstrations, of which there were many. As such the subject is quite vast . There were in fact three different designs for the Kings Counsel jetons for 1645. They were also issued in both silver and in latten (a copper based amalgam). You didn&#039;t mention which metal yours appeared to be made of, but judging from your description it sounds to be in a pretty poor state so I wouldn&#039;t go taking out a loan on the basis of its potential value <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
