<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 175646, member: 283&quot;]Actually, you got pretty close to another one very similar. The Chambre aux Deniers (another department of the king&#039;s administration) DID issue a jeton with a celestial watering can on it very similar to the one already mentioned! Theirs was was dated 1687 with the legend&nbsp; `Cunctis Dat Vivere&#039;, as opposed to the `Alit Viresque Ministrat&#039; of the Tresor Royal. There was also an undated `stock&#039; jeton struck in latten during the same time frame, so celestial watering cans appear to have been pretty popular with the king&#039;s administration from about 1680 - 1710. I don&#039;t have either of them, but one watering can is enough for me anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I dug out my example of the `celestial watering can&#039; as weilded by Groth the Green Skinned of Mars. Maybe I shouldn&#039;t have bothered. Maybe Santa will bring me a better quality scanner in a week from now. I live in hope.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
