[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1335005, member: 24633"]At 28mm, this is my smallest jeton and it was struck in copper. It has a simplistic design, but the story that goes with it is interesting. [B][U]Column of the Goddess[/U][/B] In the aftermath of the French Revolution while the countryside was still in turmoil, the Austrian army decided to take advantage of the situation and invade eastern France. They laid siege to the town of Lille and bombarded it for 8 consecutive days. The townspeople refused to surrender, so the Austrian army packed up and returned home. The "Column of the Goddess" was erected in the town square in 1845 to pay tribute to the townspeople who refused to capitulate. Chris PS. Sorry for the lousy photos.[/QUOTE]
