1785 Compagnie des Indes Jeton. Betts-unlisted, Lecompte-10. Silver. AU-58 (PCGS).
35.8 mm. 299.6 grains. Plain edge. Beautifully mottled subtle pastel toning on both sides, a bit richer on the reverse than obverse, otherwise frosty and lustrous silver gray. Scattered light marks are present but the visual appeal is very positive. A very pretty octagonal medal that was just a couple years too late to have been listed by Betts.
Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Warren Baker on May 2, 1977; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XIV, May 2006, lot 302.
