counter coin / Jeton / Rechenpfennig - 20 Jetons -Le Gouteur

4 posts
I think this is a counter coin (french: Jeton / german: Rechenpfennig)
Inscription is "20 Jetons" and "Le Gouteur" on the other side.
It has 2.38 gr and a diameter of 21 mm. Would be great to get some more informations about it.

Yes, according to this a French Jeton but not much information here ... just a little bigger and heavier than yours https://www.merson.fr/en/necessites/11816--20-jetons-jeux-le-coureur-marque-jeton.html

However, there is some information here on the same game token except it is only 10 Jetons in value https://www.dumez-numismatique.com/article.asp?langue=fr&article=10821
Mitchiner's volume on French jetons (p1343) shows the 10 Jeton variety with the same obverse. There is a 20 Jeton variety with a Napoleon statue on the obverse and the identical reverse die to your jeton. They are cataloged under Gaming Counters with a note that as a group the earliest issue date would have been 1833. Both are 22mm and 2.80 (10 Jeton) and 2.90g (20 Jeton).
great! Thank you very much for helping me. You both made me very happy.
