bagerap Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'd really appreciate some help with this one, I think it's possibly a wedding jeton; although it does appear to show the Dauphin on the reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVD XIIII ET MAR THER D G FRA ET NAV REX ET REG (Louis XIV et Marie-Thérèse par la grâce de Dieu roi et reine de France et de Navarre) , bustes affrontées de Louis XIV et de Marie Thérèse d'Autriche drapés. This wedding type(many varieties) was used from the wedding 1660 to 1673 paired with numerous diferent reverses, the Dauphin was born 1661, ergo your jeton dates 1661. http://books.google....20jeton&f=false A "galant" is a headband.
