Description

1782 French Widows and Orphans Jeton. Betts-unlisted, Lecompte-206. Silver. EF-40 (PCGS).

206.7 grains. Struck as a fundraising tool to assist the families of those killed in the American Revolution while fighting for the French, this medal was omitted by Betts but ought not have been. Silver gray, a bit bright at centers but more muted and toned at the peripheries. Scattered minor marks are seen, nothing serious.

PCGS# 926059.
