Commentary
Ce jeton ne porte aucune étoile mais il est pourtant de Sedan ainsi que l’indique Rouyer (note 1 : “qui ne peuvent être que de Sedan comme notre n°16, bien que ne portant aucune marque d’étoile à cinq rais”). Axe à douze heures. Buste très rare.
This token does not bear any star but it is nevertheless from Sedan as Rouyer indicates (note 1: “which can only be from Sedan like our n°16, although not bearing any mark of a five-pointed star”). Axis at twelve o'clock. Very rare bust

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.
