frank Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Here's another 1677, a jeton from Charles II of Spain: I got it because I liked the French phrase on the coin: GECTS [jetons] POVR LE BVREAU DES FINANCES... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well I am not so jaded that I am not impressed by three unique 1677 coins from France, Denmark and Spain. And I'm pretty jaded... Â 1676 please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stilson Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm going to drop in my 1675. Yes some one did make change from it. Not sure if I'll get a chance tomorrow. (Heading to Louisiana) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldcoinguy Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I was hoping to throw this one into the mix. 1675 Papal States scudo / piastra. Â Onward to 1673 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Jeepers, that's a beautiful coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Onward to 1673 now? Â Well, here's another French jeton for 1673: Â sufficit aeternum nec deficit = it is sufficient for eternity and will not be lacking (like the ocean...)

worldcoinguy Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Here is a 1672 Salzburg taler. That will do it for me for about a decade. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleKitty Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 1671, Anyone? Trying to keep this thread moving. I'm enjoying it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 We now pause to thank the French, especially Louis XIV, for being so enamored with jeton-minting that it's quite easy (= cheap) to find one every year for Louis's reign. 1671 Chambre aux deniers, a common coin on eBay, snapped up by those who like bees. Hinc alitur cum rege domus = "all are fed while the King is at home" (yes, we know it's really the queen bee that leads the hive, but try telling the king that).

worldcoinguy Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sorry all.......I had to kill the hosting contract I had with godaddy, and now all my images went poof.

Ian Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Here's a 1670 silver ducaton of Charles II of Spain struck at Bruges in current day Belgium. These coins were notoriously very crudely struck, and this one is (believe it or not) almost `as struck'. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 1669 jeton of Maria-Theresa, Queen of Louis XIV: The Queen's role is likened to that of a magnifying glass to Louis the Sun King. Hinc splendor et ardor = "the light and warmth [comes] from elsewhere." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Since it's been a week, I'll bump this along. Â 1668 jeton of Louis XIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Great jetons Frank. Â Standing by with a nice 1666, but for now... Â Who has the 1667? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleKitty Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I really have little idea of what this token is: But it's 1667! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I really have little idea of what this token is: But it's 1667! Â Interesting French (?) token with a clear, legible date. Nice one Elle... Â Here is my 1666, a Netherlands gold ducat from Utrecht: Â Â NGC called this XF45 which I thought was a little conservative. Look at the details on the hands and knees. Those were the high points and the first to show wear. Personally I think it's at least an AU50 (or AU55) but I may be a little bit biased. This is tied with a 1707 as my favorite ducat. Â Any more 1666's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Here's a silver jeton dated 1666 issued for the parish of Ste. Genevieive in Paris. I am completely in the dark as to the `M' counterstamp. I'm pretty certain that it signifies the jeton having been used as coinage in one of the french colonies (Montserat?), but happy for any input on this.   This one is a large silver ducaton (crown size) issued in 1666 for the city of Liege in modern day Belgium   Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
