Tankard

Hello everyone.  I am a musician, violinist, so have an interest in old instruments of all descriptions.  However while cleaning out my late uncles house I came across 2 old tankards which I thought were very unusual.  I wondered if anyone knows anything about them.
Here are some pics.
Thanks

They are about 550grams in weight.

The lid features the reverse of coins from the reign of Louis XV and there's a few of these on the internet, one recently sold on Ebay

£30-40 would be my guess. Think one sold for $70 online
