Miscellaneous Jettons

XVIIth & XVIIIth century


If you don't look for great rarities or high grading pieces, a collection of jettons of these periods can give great satisfaction at reasonable costs. I began to collect them for their beauty, historical reference or their strange subjects. So, it is not a thematic collection (battles, personages, administrations, cities etc.), but only objects that I like.
