1792 Capture of Frankfurt an Mayn, Frankfurt Hennin 378 27mm Link In October of 1792 the French had occupied Frankfurt with a couple of battalions and moved on against the Allies. In early December a larger force of Prussians and Hessians took the city by storm. This was at a cost of about 200 men for each side as well as about 1,100 French captured. It was a bad year for the Allies with very few victories. As a result, what would have been a minor battle ended up being commemorated by no less than three medals and jetons, of which this was one.

Jetons, Medalets & Tokens, The Low Countries and France by Mitchiner. I lowballed this on eBay and won it. Now I need to ante up and get Volumes 1 & 3,

1801 3 Kreuzer, Hesse-Darmstadt 18.5mm Link

1795 5 Kreutzer, Mainz 22.5mm Link

1794 12 Heller, Aachen 24.5mm Link 1792 12 Heller, Aachen 24mm Link

Thanks guys. I'm amazed that something as fragile as the surface of a coin or medal can survive in such remarkable shape. I had no idea the number of variants of the Bertrand pieces there were since Bramsen only lists two. I've got five!

1844 Mort du général Bertrand, France. Bramsen 2014 var. 25mm Link These twelve sided death jetons for Bertrand were produced in a remarkable number of variants considering he was a relatively minor figure of the Napoleonic era.

c. 1790 Joseph II, Austria 20.5mm Link This was probably engraved by E. L. S. Lauer who worked from 1783 to 1829. Since Joseph died in early 1790 this could be a death jeton as it features the "Tree of Life".

Yeah, that was called the Rose of Lippe I believe. I like coins from there but they're usually in horrible shape or way out of my price range...

1814 1 Heller, Lippe-Detmold 17mm Link Horrible cleaning.

1798 1 Pfenning, Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel 20mm Link Though this is a common coin the year 1798 is oddly difficult for me to collect.
