<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 21250, member: 283&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>Have a look at the `World Coins and Ancients&#039; forum here on cointalk under the thread `Coin ID please&#039;. In response to another query on jetons you might find some useful information there.</p><p><br /></p><p>September&#039;s edition of `The Numismatist&#039;, the American Numismatic Associations&nbsp; monthly magazine, carried a short article on early jetons (gives a very broad outline of what they were etc). Well worth a read if you can get hold of a copy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The available literature on these items tends to be very expensive basically because it is a niche `cotllectiable&#039; market (not many collectors). Your best bet is a good reference library and look for volume 1 of Michael Mitchiner&#039;s `Jetons, Medalets &amp; Tokens - The Mediaeval period and Nuremberg&#039;&nbsp; Published in 1988 by Hawkins Publications. At a cost of roughly $145, it is an expensive book to buy just to find out about one jeton. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have that particular book either (a situation I hope to resolve in the very near future, so if you care to check in again in a couple of weeks I might be able to help a little further ;-).</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
