3. Bi-metallic
token from France...by Rod Sell. Australia
Received 2 pictures from
Renard Regis of rare French token.
--Remark from Michel
Prieur, France;
This is a Louis XIII
jeton in two different colors of copper, made with the same technology
the roman bi-metallic medaillons.
It was struck around 1615 on behalf of the Conseil du roi (King's advisers council) this we know because the reverse legend NIL NISI CONSILIO (Nothing without the COuncil) is the motto of the Council. The bust is type Guéant-Prieur 74D - http://www.numishop.eu/ficheboutique.php?boutique=lib&id=LB25&argretour=1 and the legend means "Gratefull to a helping heaven" . These jetons are exceedingly rare and command very strong prices there is an article about these written by M. Pastoureau et A. Weil but it is out of print. --Remark fromWBCC Focal
