This 1508 silver jeton, or small medal, features an image of Laurens Gourevod, vrijheer van Montenay. On one side of the jeton, his coat of arms is visible inside a circle of text. On the other side, he is depicted in profile, with his head turned slightly upward. The inscription around the image likely identifies him as a noble. While the artist is unknown, this jeton is a testament to the importance of heraldry in the early 16th century and provides insight into the lives of the nobility. The small size of the jeton suggests that it was likely a personal token or commemorative item, rather than a large-scale work of art.
