Commentary
Feuardent ne répertorie de jetons de l'Académie Royale d'Architecture que pour Louis XVI. Ceux représentant le portrait de Louis XV sont fort rares.
Fondée en 1671, à l'initiative de Colbert, l'Académie d'architecture est la dernière académie royale créée. Elle siège d'abord au Louvre, puis, à partir de 1692, au Palais-Royal. Elle réunit les plus qualifiés des architectes du Roi, qui ont pour missions de jouer un rôle de conseil et d'expertise auprès de l'administration des bâtiments, de définir les règles de la "belle architecture", et de former un séminaire de jeunes architectes. En 1676, le titre d'architecte du Roi se trouve réservé aux seuls membres de l'Académie, ce qui achève de distinguer les architectes des maîtres-maçons. Quelques grands noms : Bruand, Le Pautre, Le Vau.

Historical background
ACADEMIES AND LEARNED SOCIETIES
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the academies and learned societies contributed to the influence of science, arts and literature throughout France and abroad.. They allow the dissemination of knowledge, then the ideas of the Enlightenment, and include in their ranks the most influential personalities in their field, responsible, among other things, for training future creators and scholars.. In the provinces, they constitute the essential elements of social and cultural life.. They bring together "great" and "beautiful" minds (men of letters, artists and scientists), and are endowed with official institutions (legal and material structures) which ensure their permanence, stability and legitimacy.. They are established by letters patent of the King, and most often placed under the protection of the latter.. Let us cite as an example the Academy of Sciences, Belles-Lettres and Arts of Rouen, created in June 1744 by letters patent of Louis XV. Previously, there were already meetings of botanic friends who formed an unofficial academy. Two men actively worked for the official recognition of this academy: Fontenelle, godfather of the Academy and Le Cornier de Cideville, classmate and friend of Voltaire.. Many members of this Academy are famous: Chardin, Pigalle, Parmentier, Necker, Victor Hugo or Abbé Cochet..
