OMNIBVS NON SIBI. A water fountain.

Vern's Comments:

This piece is nearly identical to Hennin 244, the difference being Reich's name under the bust instead of on Louis' arm. In fact there's another variant unlisted by Hennin onsite where Reich's name does not show up at all. There's a better example onsite of this same piece. I continue to buy them because I've found die variations once I've got the jeton in hand but in this case it's just a very worn 2nd example from the same dies.

Hennin:

N^o. 245. Pl. 25.

31 Décembre 1791.

R. Omnibvs non sibi. Ietton.

Avers semblable à celui de la pièce précédente, excepté que le mot REICH est au-dessous du buste.
