<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 1844117, member: 57364&quot;]I can tell you what i think about the second coin in your second set. Though i can not conclusively attribute it for you.</p><p>The four keys arranged in a cross with fleurs de lys in between was the medieval logo of the French treasury department (&quot;Tresor Royal&quot;) They issued their own counters (jetons in French). However, the edge text seems gibberish. Also the combination with the other side is a bit weird because this arrangement of 6 Fleur de Lis in 3-2-1 order is not French, but the coat of arms of the Italian house of Farnese.</p><p><br /></p><p>This makes me think this is a counter which is not French, nor Italian, but German. Because the Germans at the time massively produced counters (mainly around Nuremberg). These were exported also to France and Great-Brittain. These were often made to resemble French and English types, but are a bit off. So i think this is a contemporary German imitation of a French medieval jeton.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just an hypothesis, (Challenge anyone to come up with a better <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
