Two 16thC Nuremberg jetons. Copper alloy. The right hand example was made by Hans Schultes (his name appears on the back). Both coins portray the winged Lion of St Mark and the Imperial orb. Some have suggested that these were intended for Venetian use. These were mostly made for use as counters for accounting calculations by merchants and government officials. -- source link
