Need Help with France Louis XIII? 1600s? Token or Double Tournois Coin [решено]

4 сообщений • просмотрено 55 раз

Hello,

 

Picked up a coin that I'm having trouble identifying. It was described as : “France AE Jeton Louis XIII (1610-1643) Bust R”.

 

Details 

Diameter : 21mm

Thickness : 1.3mm

Weight : 3.12g

Composition : Likely Brass

 

Obv :

VVLTV·QVO·COELVM

 

Rev:

ORBE·FEMA·*·SVA·CIRCVIT

 

The only mention I can find on the interwebs is :

 

https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/numiscorner/239/product/france_royal_louis_xiii_token__brass_21/725157/amp.aspx

 

But this is not helping me place within the numista or other catalogues. I'm thinking this might be a token, not a coin, and could likely not be from Louis XII's lifetime, but not really sure. It's diameter aligns with the Double Tournois from the time, but the weight not so much. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Shamrock

 It already is not a coin, as description says Jeton, which is a Token. 

Also it starts with the star so is *·SVA·CIRCVIT·ORBE·FAMA· [not FEMA] 

 Four examples …

 A few countries made them. I love them and have a large collection. 

A small sample of some of mine …
