1596 Betts-17 Dutch Jeton, AU53
Displays Arms of Zeeland

1596 Jeton American Commerce, Bronze, Betts-17, AU53 PCGS. Chocolate-brown surfaces contain steel-brown regions in the protected areas. Microscopic porosity requires significant inspection to detect. This bronze Dutch jeton displays the Arms of the Dutch province of Zeeland on the reverse, and Betts links both this piece and the similar Betts-16 with early commercial voyages to St. Thomas and Brazil. He did not, however, list the copper version of this jeton, noting only silver strikes.
