<p>[QUOTE=&quot;juslystn, post: 4251465, member: 111336&quot;]I just want to share this interesting coin with you guys. This is a game counter jeton with a shattered reverse die and a rim cud at the 8 oclock position. I&#039;m not sure of the date...or the era...I just know what it is and the errors that are on it. For those not familiar with these.... Jetons or jettons are tokens or coinlike medals produced across Europe from the 13th through the 17th centuries. They were produced as counters for use in calculation on a counting board, a lined board similar to an abacus. They also found use as a money substitute in games, similar to modern casino chips,poker chips....or...fake money.</p><p>This particular coin is extremely thin and fragile. I would compare the thickness to that of a sheet of paper. I usually do not collect this type of coin,but after owning it for a while it has become one of my favorite pieces.</p><p>&nbsp;I am new to the forum,i hope you all don&#039;t mind me sharing some of my collection...it isn&#039;t often I come across people who share this interest in the hobby.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084641[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
