Offered is a handsome 36mm jetton first issued to commemorate the founding of the Société Générale de Crédit Industriel et Commercial, Gad#2666, Forrer-III#459. This example a matte silver strike with in-period ARGENT hallmark on the edge.
Some examples seem to be signed at the bottom left of the obverse, while others (such as this one) do not. There appears to be a correlation between the presence of a signature and the finish (matte examples without and regular proof/BU specimens with), with matte examples nominally mor available than proof/BU specimens. A most appealing example of this popular type.
