<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2703191, member: 80804&quot;]For those finding this thread of interest, and in hopes of avoiding whatever the photo-uploading glitch may be, I have placed 9 new images of &quot;Spade Guinea&quot; and Victoria-themed gaming tokens on my gallery/website at <a href="http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album136" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album136" rel="nofollow">http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album136</a> .&nbsp; Mainly British, they run from the late 18th through the early-mid 19th century. They illustrate part of the journey tokens made morphing from medieval mathematical-aid jetons to something like the poker chips and other various gaming tokens of our modern day. </p><p>Note the piece in homage to ancient Roman coin types - MINERVA / RECHEN PFENNING // :I :L (means &quot;counting-penny&quot;, ie: a jeton) which comes in the middle between the generations of spade guinea and Victoria-themed types.</p><p><img src="http://www.stoa.org/albums/album136/MinervaJeton.sized.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I have not, however, added any of the specifically American-themed or overtly political items - perhaps another evening if folks find this interesting.</p><p><a href="http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album136" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album136" rel="nofollow">http://www.stoa.org/gallery/album136</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
