<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2353393, member: 24633&quot;]Jetons date back to about the 11th century. Just as the abacus was used by oriental businessmen to tally customer purchases, the original intent for the jeton was to allow businessmen to tally customer purchases in Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean region. The use of the jeton gradually spread to much of Europe, and eventually became a scoring piece for various table games. Jetons are known to be smaller than 38mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>The book, <b>Jetons, Medalets and Tokens - The Low Countries and France - Volume Two</b> by Michael Mitchiner contains 800+ pages with engraved images covering the 15th through 19th centuries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
