World Premiere!

I usually try to stick with silver jetons, but this design was just too cool to pass on.

1685 Henri de Fourcy -

I can see why. This is sweet looking piece. I love the design of both sides, especially the obverse. Thanks for sharing.

You said it, Stefanie!   

It's a pleasure seeing everyone's newps and getting a little background in addition.  Keep up the great work!!

Well, I just couldn't let this one get away.

Caisse D'Epargne Beauvais. Silver jeton, 37mm-




I have a new camera coming tomorrow or Saturday, so I'll be testing it's macro capabilities on this one, and maybe I'll be able to update the picture.

Can't wait to see what the images will look like with the new camera, but for now this one looks nice enough. Love the design, especially on the reverse. Thanks for sharing as always.

Just added this one to the collection -



1836 Caisse d'epargne de Perpignan, one of only a few matte finished jetons I've come across so far -

[Zantetsuken]

Very nice as always. Somehow the matted surface fits the bluish toning. Never the less, a beautiful metal. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Daniel.  I had this one for sale on the website, but the design fit pretty well with my later-date jetons and I hated to let it go.  I really like this style of art/design, the 18-1900's evolution of art nouveau (I think that's what they call it).

I guess I'm not a great salesman, keeping stuff for myself.   I did sell a couple of others from my set to compensate for it, my set seems to be constantly changing.

Here are a couple of new specimens that came within the last couple of days. The first is a Gazetta from DALMATIA & ALBANIA dating from 1684-1710. Issued under Venetian sovereignty. The second is 5 Tenge from the KHANATE OF KHIVA dating from 1337 AH/1919 AD. Khiva became independent following the Russian Revolution in 1917, and lasted until the Soviet takeover in 1920. Following this, the name was changed to the Khwarezm Soviet Peoples Republic.
