how cool ... I was just watching Trashopolis, re: paris

Hyperion

and they highlighted to 19th cent overhaul of the city sanitation systems to help alleviate the dark-ages style disease factories they had goin on, and then I remembered the jeton I snapped up from FB!!



you know, having brothers as plumbers they constantly remind me what modern life would be like without proper sanitation systems, any large gathering of humans would become self-limiting because of rampant disease and sickness..

Noble Sanitation Efforts.. preserved in silver!


btw, I highly recommend the smithsonian channels trashopolis series

Hadn't heard of the TV series.

Great jeton. They sure knew how to design and engrave stuff back then, eh?

I know I've seen the obverse before, but don't recall seeing the reverse. Was that obverse paired with several different reverses?

I've also seen the obverse before on a bronze medal or two, but you can't beat the silver look and that Marianne has to be my absolute favorite. I just love looking at it!
