<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2102786, member: 22729&quot;]I found this jeton at a dealer&#039;s table at a small show in Burlington. I bought it because I liked it, but also because of the counterstamped &quot;JB&quot; either side of the bust. Apparently, it&#039;s Russian as it has a portrait of Czar Nicholas I on the obverse. The scene on the reverse depicts a battle during the Russo-Turkish War of 1826-28. I don&#039;t know what the &quot;JB&quot; stands for, but suspect it might be the initials of a gaming house, or of a person who used the piece for whatever purpose. It&#039;s struck on a thin 26mm brass planchet. The surfaces are actually quite nice. My picture isn&#039;t.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll have to contact Eugene and see if he knows anything about it. Hopefully, he&#039;ll see my post, but I don&#039;t think he peruses this thread. Does anyone here know anything about it? Thanks for looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[ATTACH=full]395818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395819[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
