Comment
“Tokens were struck which have on one side a ship sailing with full sail, and two stars appear to guide him. Top lettering: “CERTA DUCUNT SIDERA” and in the exergue: “1707”. This motto serves as the reverse of the tokens of the States of Burgundy.
This token was issued by Philippe de Challemoux, alcade.
