Commentary


Variété de légende avec F. ET. NA au droit.
La série avec le dauphin enlaçant une ancre est très certainement de Sedan mais comporte quelques différences par rapport aux autres exemplaires. L’axe des coins est à douze heures et non plus six, on note de légers décentrements, enfin, il y a parfois absence de l’étoile à cinq branches qui en constitue le signe distinctif.
Cet exemplaire provient de la Collection Alain Tissière, MONNAIES XVII.

Historical background


ARDENNES - JETONS FACTORY IN SEDAN

(1614-1642)

A factory of banal tokens exists in Sedan from the years 1613-1614. It was entrusted to Daniel Goffin, a Protestant engraver based in Givonne near Sedan. The tokens produced are imitations of royal tokens and are made using mechanical tools with which the Principality of Sedan is equipped. A five-pointed star is found as a different on many of these tokens. This workshop probably closed with the abandonment of the principality to France in 1642. Note, a study by Jules Rouyer on a French-looking token factory in Sedan at the time of Louis XIII, Revue numismatique, 1887.
