Drusus Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 those are outstanding jettons...certainly some jettons are as nice or nicers than actual coins in their design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 French silver jetons are terrific, esp. those octagonal 19th-century ones... or the 17th century ones if you can get them! I have a few of the former on Omnicoin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banivechi Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Silver Jetton from Lorraine Nah, it's from Loiret (France Centre), not Lorraine. As I know, exist catalogues for these "Jetons de notaires" from Gadoury. You can browse the french ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
