Don't you know that it's worth
every treasure on Earth
to be young at heart?
And as rich as you are,
it's much better by far,
to be young at heart!

    Just that it would be a copper or brass 1742 French jeton of Louis 15. Jetons were originally used as counting aids for merchants but they also evolved into gaming pieces

    actually i have a book on jetons since i've purchased a few 16th and 17th century french and dutch jetons over the years. France struck
    a BUNCH of em from medieval times through the 19th century. The designs on jetons are often more artistic/elaborate than on their coins
