Commentary
On doit noter, et il est bien visible sur cet exemplaire, que la boule qui surmonte le gnomon portait un portrait de l’empereur qui a été difformé dans le coin. Ce détail aura généralement échappé aux contemporains comme il a échappé à Maître Lerouge, puisqu’il existe deux modèles du jeton pour la Restauration, avec le portrait de l’empereur et le coin modifié pour l’oblitérer.
On peut supposer que la première distribution de jetons se fit avec le revers “au portrait”, que cette incongruité - sous la Restauration - fut remarquée et que les distributions suivantes se firent avec des jetons frappés avec un coin apuré.
La devise "Lex est quodcumque notamus" est une création du père Ménestrier en 1686 pour les secrétaires du roi qui ne s'en sont jamais servi. L'invention fut reprise par les notaires de Paris puis ensuite par les notaires de Province.
It should be noted, and it is clearly visible on this example, that the ball surmounting the gnomon bore a portrait of the emperor that was deformed in the corner. This detail will generally have escaped contemporaries as it escaped Maître Lerouge, since there are two models of the token for the Restoration, with the portrait of the emperor and the die modified to obliterate it. We can assume that the first distribution of tokens was made with the reverse “with the portrait”, that this incongruity - under the Restoration - was noticed and that the following distributions were made with tokens struck with a purified die. The motto \\\"Lex est quodcumque notamus\\\" was a creation of Father Ménestrier in 1686 for the king's secretaries who never used it. The invention was taken up by the notaries of Paris and then by the notaries of the Province

Historical background
19TH CENTURY NOTARIES (SOLICITORS AND ATTORNEYS)
The Le Chapelier law of June 17, 1791, which dissolves the corporations, therefore the companies of notaries, then the law of October 6, 1791 suppresses the royal, apostolic and seigneurial notaries as well as the venality and the inheritance of their offices. However, the authors of this second law, recognizing the need for the authentication of deeds and the duty to advise, institute public notaries. Thus notaries remain in practice by changing quality. However, after a decade of legislative trial and error, the First Consul Bonaparte reorganized and modernized the notariat by the organic law of 25 Ventôse of the year XI (March 16, 1803). This veritable "notarial code" remains today the reference text of the profession.. The 19th century notary is an emblematic figure that can be found in literature but also in opera. One of the most famous figures is in the third act of Puccini's opera, "Il Trittico", performed for the first time in 1918, and whose action takes place in the 19th century.. The most famous aria is that of Gianni Schicchi: “Si corre dal notaio!” (“Let’s go to the notary!”) [http://www. Youtube. com/watch?v=0OjuOxOCFVI].
