Breton-575. 29.0mm. 14.43g. Plain edge with integrated loop at 12 o’clock. Unsigned. Breton reports that the 200 made were struck in Germany in 1887. The 1885 date on the token reflects when Mr. Desjardins began collecting. As such, Warren Baker believes this should be considered a numismatist card. About 50% red, having mellowed to shades of blue and violet. Unc.
