This listing is for the 1909 Mardi Gras New Orleans Coin: Jester & Lord's Prayer. This genuine 1909 Mardi Gras souvenir token features a wonderful dual-theme design, capturing both the revelry of the celebration and the solemn season that follows it. This unique pairing of a secular jester and a religious prayer was very symbolic for the era.
