bagerap Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thank you Frank. The subtle differences you can find in these jetons fascinates and frustrates me simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Here's a link to an online copy Rouyer's 19th-century book on jetons. It's in French but you can search for specific mottoes. http://archive.org/stream/histoiredujeton00huchgoog#page/n49/mode/2up There really is enormous variation in these early jetons.

bagerap Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks agan Frank. Middle French was part of my degree course. Forty some years later, it finally becomes useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
