Les Ambassadeurs 10/- jeton question:

This 10/- jeton became available (sorry for the fuzzy scan) recently, and while talking with the seller she explained that her father had another 10/- matching this example, exactly, except that it was Green. She was pretty sure of the color because she was standing next to him when he sold it upon arriving in Florida for their winter holiday in January (yes, FUN of all places... I wasn't there. grin ).

My question: What colors are known in the 10/- (and other denoms of this series -- lower denoms, only?) ?

I'm famiiar with the gold 5/- seen in the scan (it was my find), but as far as I know it's only known in that gold color.

Now if you really want to get sick to your stomach; they had a tanslucent red Silhouette... machine engraved... the one depicting the tall woman in white. I've only seen one of these, before... and that was about 15 years ago...

Thank you...
