Surprise Jetton dug yesterday in South GA. It’s brass or copper. Cool find in my book.

And this is how it looked once. Minted in Nurnberg like most of them are. Obverse with King Ludwig XVI what narrows the date to the third quarter of 18thC. So you were very close!

Awesome ID!!! Thanks! Amazing pics of the actual Jetton.

OK, I've tracked down the master Jetton Makers name;

Georg Hoger - 1764-88.

Wow, I may give this one to the land owner since I know the history. Thank you Crusader!

That's a very interesting find. I am willing to bet that those were used interchangeably as money even though they were specifically made for something else. Congrats on it I hope to find one some day!
