What is this coin

6 posts


Can anyone shed some light on what this coin is. 25mm diameter with raised head and regret de tous inscribed. Date 1845. Suggests maybe French. Or is it some kind of medal
This is a Jeton (Token) from France.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Thank you Stefan, much appreciated
Regretté de tous: regretted by all or missed by all
There should be a name on it.
Use google translate (French-english) for a correct translation of the legend
It could be French, canadian, Switserland or even belgian...

Hello,
It's a French medal in tribute to the guy we see on the observe (the picture is too blury to read the legend).

This guy was born on 10/13/1793 at Andelys (NE LE 13 X 1793 AUX ANDELYS) and died on 9/26/1845 in the Castle of Brezé (MORT LE 26 9 1845 AU CHATEAU DE BREZE).

I guess it's the marquis Scipion of Dreux-Brézé on the observe ?
The legend should be something like "SCIPn. Mis DE DREUX BREZE PAIR DE FRANCE".
Yes indeed, looks like him:
