- GUADELOUPE. Guadeloupe - France. Jeton de 30 Sous par Marteau, ND (1754). Louis XV. PCGS MS-61 Gold Shield. Lec-45b. Countermarked for Marie-Galante. An outstanding example of this VERY RAREcountermark issue for a dependency island of Guadeloupe about 12 miles off its coast, gently handled long in the past with one tiny stain on the reverse barely discernable from the appealing tone that has settled in amongst the protected areas in the devices. According to numismatic scholar Jean LeCompte author of numerous standard French colonial reference books, states that he is aware of two types of Jetons as host coins for this issue. He speculates that these were stamps by the Chamber of Commerce of La Rochelle to serve as payment to sailors leaving for Marie-Galante. Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500.
