Commentary
Copie du jeton de l’ordinaire des guerres (Feu. 397) frappé vers 1643. Le style et les étoiles à cinq rais au revers permettent d’attribuer cet exemplaire à la fabrique de Goffin à Sedan. Non signalé dans l’étude de Rouyer.
Copy of the token of the ordinary of wars (Feu. 397) struck around 1643. The style and the five-pointed stars on the reverse allow this copy to be attributed to the Goffin factory in Sedan. Not mentioned in Rouyer's study

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.
