    It's not a coin, but a jeton. As such, if you want to get it certified by a TPG, your best choice is NGC.

    1776 Provost of the Merchants of Paris
    30 mm Silver
    Feuardent 3748

    Obv: Oval arms of Jean-Baptist-François of Michodière, surmounted crown of marquis and supported by two greyhounds, the whole on a carved plinth. III. PREVt DE. Mre J. B. FR. DE. LA. MICHODIERE., MDCCLXXVI in exergue.

    Rev: Arms of Paris, VILLE DE PARIS

    Jean-Baptist François was born on September 2, 1720, the son of Jean-Baptist of Michodière and of Louise-Elisabeth Rochereau d' Hauteville. He spent his career in civil service. He advised of the king on the Large Council at 19, Master of the ordinary requests at 25, and president of the Large Council at 30. He becomes intendant of Riom in 1753, Lyon in 1757 and until 1762, Intendant of Rouen the same year, adviser of State in 1768, and Provost of the merchants of Paris 1772 to 1777. He died in 1797.

    Not sure about the price. Might want to search the web based on the description of the jeton to see if you can find any auction archives.
