Commentary
Il s’agit des mêmes jetons que ceux d’Orléans mais avec une contremarque “H” dans un cercle. Il existe quatre variétés : a) sans cédille (avers) et 2 mm entre la pointe du “5” et le “c” (revers) ; b) sans cédille et 3 mm ; c) avec cédille et 2 mm ; d) avec cédille et 3 mm (Les Jetons de Transport Français, Roland Elie, 1995).
These are the same tokens as those of Orléans but with a countermark “H” in a circle. There are four varieties: a) without cedilla (obverse) and 2 mm between the point of the “5” and the “c” (reverse); b) without cedilla and 3 mm; c) with cedilla and 2 mm; d) with cedilla and 3 mm (Les Jetons de Transport Français, Roland Elie, 1995)

Historical background
TRANSPORTATION (TRAINS, BUSES, TRAMS, BOATS, ETC.)
The railway from Paris to Saint-Germain, inaugurated on August 24, 1837, is at the origin of the western railway network since the law of July 9, 1835. One of the locomotives used is a Seguin, model 1829 , the first French smoke tube locomotive. The Western Railway Company was liquidated in 1909 to form part of the state network. On August 31, 1937, the forced merger of the five concessionary companies, North, East, Paris-Orléans, PLM, State, Alsace Lorraine gave birth to the SNCF.
