Title: token or jeton Post by: the sutt on September 13, 2010, 01:44:05 PM went to the west hanney rally yesturday and found this little beauty
but not sure if its a token or a jeton any advice will be most appreciated thank you. Title: Re: token or jeton Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 13, 2010, 01:50:27 PM my gut reaction is jeton 13th to 15th century .... will have to do some more research to confirm this.
Title: Re: token or jeton Post by: Chef Geoff on September 13, 2010, 02:06:21 PM That's a lovely condition find. I agree with Alan circa 14thC Jeton, the cross does give it a French look but I must admit I have never seen the other sides design before. So over to someone with a book.

Title: Re: token or jeton Post by: The Doc on September 13, 2010, 10:17:40 PM Nice find. The design is the stylized 'Castle of Tours', like on these jetons:

I'm still uncertain whether this is a jeton or a coin. Title: Re: token or jeton Post by: The Doc on September 13, 2010, 10:32:31 PM Just found a very similar one. I think confirms it as a jeton:
