France. Jean Charrier. AE Jeton, Lyon mint, 1672. Consular token. Tricou 39. AE. 88.3 g. 32 mm. Good VF. The series of consular tokens of the city of Lyon dates back to 1624, when for the first time, tokens were distributed as a present of honor to members, officers and characters whose merits the Consulate had to reward. The copper tokens intended for the employees of the Consulate are minted in an uncertain number. The engraving of these tokens is most of the time the work of the engraver of the Monnaie de Lyon, while their manufacture is entrusted to the Monnaie des Médailles which has the exclusive privilege of minting from 1672. Many studies relate to the series of consular tokens, the most recent and best documented is that of Jean Tricou, Les tokens consulaires de Lyon, Paris, Bourgey, 1955.
