Commentary

Refrappe absolument certaine bien que le jeton soit sans poinçon. Ce type de refrappe a été fait pour collectionneurs et pour pallier à l’impossibilité de trouver certains jetons, rarissimes voire inconnus en frappe originale. En vingt ans de commerce des jetons nous n’avons jamais pu offrir ce jeton en original.
La famille de Harlay maintint pendant quatre générations au plus haut niveau du service de l’État. Leur fiche wikipedia est impressionnante à ce titre, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achille_de_Harlay . Il n’est clair de décider si notre personnage est Achille II ou III de Harlay.
Absolutely certain re-strike although the token is without a punch. This type of re-strike was made for collectors and to compensate for the impossibility of finding certain tokens, extremely rare or even unknown in original strike. In twenty years of trading tokens we have never been able to offer this token in original. The Harlay family maintained for four generations at the highest level of state service. Their Wikipedia page is impressive in this respect, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achille_de_Harlay . It is unclear whether our character is Achille II or III de Harlay
