- BELGIUM. Liege. Chapter of St. Lambert's. Bronze Mereau or Communion Token, ND (ca. 1680). PCGS MS-63 Brown. De Renesse pl. LXXII, 6. Diameter: 21mm. Used for the receiving of food during feast day celebrations. Obverse: Skull and crossbones; Reverse: Crossbones between two flames. A very popular type, this warm brown specimen presents a somewhat better strike than is usually encountered, and features some hints of red accentuating the devices. St. Lambert served at the Bishop of Maastricht and later, Liege, where he is celebrated as a martyr and patron saint, having defended the fidelity of marriage and not succumbing to Merovingian politics. Though buried at Maastricht, his successor, St. Hubertus, had his relics removed and enshrined at Liege. Estimate: $150 - $300. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
