<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wittwolf, post: 8368838, member: 116854&quot;]Some new Jetons arrived and in my opinion the highlight of them is another one from the Franco-Dutch wars:</p><p><i>France - Jeton - VNIS TERGEMINVM (Transl: Alone against the triple Geryon)</i></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1485111[/ATTACH] </p><p>The topic is again the Battle of Seneffe. You see Herkules beating up the Geryon (Mythological creature with three bodies). The Geryon here represents the alliance of Spanish, the Imperials and the Dutch who get beaten by Louis (Officially both sides claimed victory). </p><p>Having never heard of the Geryon before I wonder if someone here got an ancient coin featuring him. I have read in the myth Hercules killed him with a poisonous arrow and not with his club so the artist took himself some liberties here to make the scene more fitting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
