Historical background
ROUYER - VI. ITALIAN JETONS AND TOKENS
Italian merchants are used on behalf of Italian merchant companies and bankers or "Lombards". These financial venture capital companies had a three-year term and shared gains or losses. The creation of a new company led to the minting of méreaux de compte or "quarteruoli" and these seem extremely varied (see the introduction by Jacques Labrot in the reissue of the Rouyer collection, 2000).
