 1796 Castorland Jeton. Uniface white metal splasher of the original reverse in a rusted state. 81.5 gns. Broad, 34.8 mm. flan. Essentially as made and of the highest rarity but of uncertain date. Sharply struck, with almost all of the detail visible in the deity's gown. Broad outer border of metal beyond the beaded border showing flowlines quite distinctly. Plain edge. Considerable die rust around the sap bucket handle and in the space between the deity's robes and the trunk of the tree.
Ex Marcel Platt, Paris on May 31, 1967.
