Commentary


Ce jeton ne peut en aucun cas avoir été frappé à la Monnaie de Paris et si le style et l’inspiration sont indiscutablement français, le coin de droit est une copie et le revers est ancien de forme. Techniquement la gravure n’est pas optimale et nous devons par commodité l’attribuer à Nuremberg même si le style est bien meilleur que les productions standards de l’atelier allemand.
Les lettres de la légende ne sont pas faites au poinçon mais gravées manuellement et sont irrégulières. On peut penser qu’il s’agit d’une production privée et il est certain que le jeton n’est pas en argent malgré une surface parfaite. L’argenture est parfaitement d’époque.
This token can in no case have been struck at the Paris Mint and if the style and inspiration are indisputably French, the obverse die is a copy and the reverse is old in shape. Technically the engraving is not optimal and we must for convenience attribute it to Nuremberg even if the style is much better than the standard productions of the German workshop. The letters of the legend are not made with a punch but manually engraved and are irregular. One can think that this is a private production and it is certain that the token is not made of silver despite a perfect surface. The silvering is perfectly period

Historical background


LOUIS XV THE BELOVED

(1/09/1715-10/05/1774)

Louis XV succeeded Louis XIV on September 1, 1715 and Philippe d'Orléans was sole regent. The quadruple alliance in 1717 aims to maintain the European balance with France, Austria, England and the United Provinces. During his visit to France, Tsar Peter I signed a bilateral treaty of understanding. In 1718, Abbé Dubois became Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Sacred Archbishop of Cambrai in 1720, Prime Minister in 1722, he died on August 10, 1723. France declared war on Spain in 1719 to prevent Philip V from overthrowing the Regent. The capture of San Sebastian and Hondarribia marks the end of hostilities. In 1720, Philippe V joined the Quadruple Alliance and renounced the throne of France by the Treaty of Madrid. The first Masonic lodge was founded in France in 1721. Louis XV was crowned at the age of 12 on October 25, 1722. On February 15, 1723, he was declared of age. The regent is replaced by the Duke of Bourbon who becomes prime minister. Philippe d'Orléans died on December 2.
