as Ricko said, welcome to the forums! I can't help you out, but I am a member of another chat forum that might be able to help. With your permission I can post pics over there. It's a pretty sweet looking coin/token though!

I suspect that is Louis XIV.

Sure, any information would be great.

Mystery solved thanks to pcgs69 network connections. So as Bayard1908 suspected Louis XIV.

A French war token to finance the war between Holland and France (1672-1679):

That is a very cool find. These are referred to as jetons, by the way.

But I see the Treasurenet thread already mentioned that.
