bagerap Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I've been after one of these for some time. Not particularly rare, just elusive. Nearly missed this one as it had a large coating of candle wax, there's still a bit to remove yet. My question, at 26.5mm is this Henin 272?

Art1.2 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 That's a neat token. Good find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 The reverse is Henin 272 but the obverse is not. Obv:LOUIS XVI ROI DES FRANSOIS. Louis is facing right, there is one in Hennin #178 which has that exact inscription but Louis faces left (with a totally different reverse) Rev: LUST. BAUT. DAS . LAND: Exe: REGEN. PF: I. C. R.(Rechen pfennig. Johann Christian Reich) 26mm. Might be in Mitchner, I don't have a copy. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Looking more closely at the reverse, it is not exactly the same as 272 as that as LUST. BAUT. DAS . LAND: O the O is missing on your variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
