Commentary
Variété de légende avec F. ET. NAV 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.
Legend variety with F. ET. NAV on the obverse. The series with the dolphin embracing an anchor is most certainly from Sedan but has some differences compared to the other examples. The die axis is at twelve o'clock and no longer six, there are slight offsets, finally, there is sometimes absence of the five-pointed star which constitutes the distinctive sign. This example comes from the Alain Tissière Collection, 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.
