Louis XV copper Uniface Reverse Trial Franco-American Jeton 1754-Dated XF/AU, cf. Br-514 (for reverse type), Betts-389 (same), Lec-129-139 (same). 29mm. 29.06gm. Bonded to a lead 'planchet' approximately 4mm thick. A highly peculiar item, perhaps meant to serve as some sort of display or trial/sample piece, judging from the thin copper layer bonded to a thick lead base, and likely unique as such. The design appears the same as the standard Br-514 reverse, though the denticles are interestingly quite weakly executed and the die was clearly quite rusted.
Ex. Saul Hendler Collection
From the Doug Robins Collection of Canadian Tokens, Part II
