<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 150645, member: 283&quot;]To be honest, I haven&#039;t seen any jeton from that era that looks like your one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only jeton i&#039;ve seen with a ship on the reverse remotely similar to yours was on a jeton issued by the Chamber of Commerce for La Rochelle in the 1750&#039;s. Usually the ships on that series are sailing to the left. However I don&#039;t think they had ships that looked like that in 1648. The bust of the king also looks too crude for any official issue of a jeton.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could be wrong but it doesn&#039;t look like silver to me but its hard to be 100% certain based on the images you have. To my eye it appears to be a fairly modern creation, but I haven&#039;t a clue as to why someone would want to create it in the first place excepting as possibly toy money or as part of a series on french kings or similar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry I can&#039;t be more helpful on this occasion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
