    Anyone recognize this jeton? I haven't any references for it.

    Can't identify the jeton right off but pretty sure that's Louis XIIII. Kind of think if you spend a little time looking through these links - HERE - you'll be able to identify it.

    Most likely Louis XIV. But no luck in the resources section. I forgot to check, but was familiar with most of the sources anyway. The article "Jetons: Their Use and History" in particular I had read before and found fascinating.

    The Canadian Monetary Museum google image search brought up only two images of jetons - perhaps they changed their website layout? And the "Medals & Tokens of the Kings of France" is almost entirely down, except for the central page, which has lost all of its pictures.

    I forgot to give the legend:
    obv: LOVIS XIV ROY DE[??]R ET DE [??]
    rev: PAIX A TOVIES 16 NATION 79
    I think the reverse shows a ballroom scene.
