Copper alloy French jetton or reckoning counter, depicting the shield of France on the obverse, which dates it to c.1415-1437, struck in Tournai, probably after 1423 when King Charles VII of France (1422-1461) introduced the silver Blanc à la coronelle (coin). Mitchener (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 227, No.688. Jettons first appeared in England during the reign of Edward I (1271-1307) and carried on to the end of the reign of Richard II (1377-1399).

Incomplete copper alloy French royal jetton or gaming counter struck at the Paris mint under King Charles VII (1422-1461). This jetton has the modern shield of France on the obverse, which dates it to c.1418-1437. Charles VII introduced the Grand blanc à la couronnelle (coin) in 1423 and then the Blanc aux couronnelles (coin) in 1436. Henry VI placed a small crown like this one above the paired shields of France and England on the Trèsin (coin). The present issue may represent an attempt by Charles VII to restore the field of royal jettons after he had regained Paris in 1437. Mitc…
