Jeton, Comte de Milly Lodge of Nine Sisters, 1781
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1781
125.7 grains. Plain edge. The surfaces are glossy and smooth, rich chocolate brown on both sides. Some trivial specks are noted, but neither they nor the scattered light marks harm the excellent visual appeal. That reverse die, not this one, also matches all three of the Franklin Lodge of Nine Sisters jetons in the Ford Collection.
Further, as noted above, this jeton and the silver one that precedes were not only struck from different obverse dies, but the portrait hubs of de Milly are entirely different as well.
