Commentary

Ces jetons étaient distribués aux membres de l'Académie lors de leurs réunions du lundi, jeudi et samedi. On appelait " jetonniers " les académiciens remarqués pour leur assiduité aux réunions. En 1719, ce jeton a pu être entre les mains de Claude Gros de Boze. Celui-ci, né à Lyon le 28 janvier 1680, fut numismate et garde, en 1719, du Cabinet des antiques dont il classa la collection. Il fut reçu à l’Académie par André Dacier. Il mourut le 10 septembre 1753.

Born in Lyon on January 28, 1680, he was a numismatist and, in 1719, keeper of the Cabinet of Antiques, whose collection he classified. He was received at the Academy by André Dacier.
