Another great little jeton. This pic is a little too reflective for my tastes but nicely shows a rare jeton that originally
belonged to Prince Victor Napoleon. In English this would be from the Imperial Lodge of Free Chevaliers of Paris.

Very nice, I like the dark coppers a bit more, but that has a great liniage.

Interesting piece, although it seems to have one of the USA's early, less robust style of eagles on display...

This is actually a fairly dark copper jeton. I'll reshoot it in natural light which should improve its looks. There's some wear on the breast of the eagle and the tops of his wings as well as some scuff marks on the reverse. It's about an inch in diameter (27mm).

That is really an exceptional piece, Vern!!

Fantastic piece! I like the reverse design - a mystery to most people but made sense to the members of the Lodge.
