Commentary
Comme quasiment tous les exemplaires des monnaies de la compagnie O.T.L, ils sont contremarqué du monogramme “OTL” sur l’avers. Il existe deux variétés pour ce jeton : a) avec la pointe de l’étoile entre le “J” et le “E” de “TRAJET” (avers) ; b) avec la pointe sous le “E” de “TRAJET” (Les Jetons de Transport Français, Roland Elie, 1995).
Like almost all examples of the OTL company coins, they are countermarked with the monogram “OTL” on the obverse. There are two varieties of this token: a) with the point of the star between the “J” and the “E” of “TRAJET” (obverse); b) with the point under the “E” of “TRAJET” (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.
