Vern's Comments:

Although he doesn't mention any years Forrer (Vol IV, p. 366) has the following entry:

"PAGOT (French). Die-sinker of Angers, whose signature, PAGOT SC. occurs on the Ticket or Jeton, actually in use, of the Notaries of Angers (Vide A. Planchenault, Les Jetons angevins, Gaz. num. franç., 1901, p. 13, n° 161)."

The bee indicates it was struck between 1860 and 1880.
