CANADA. Franco-American Jeton, 1754. Paris Mint. NGC EF Details--Tooled. cf. F-1570; Lec-134. By Benjamin Duvivier and Charles Norbert Roettiers. Edge: Reeded, no privy mark. Obverse: Draped bust of Louis XV facing right. Reverse: Pair of beavers at left and crops to right, NON INFERIORA METALLIS. An interesting and historical piece noting the value of furs and crops being equivalent to precious metals. Duvivier attained the role of medal engraver to the king in 1762 (upon the death of his father), placing this issue somewhat after the date on the reverse.
