Commentary
Cette logique de dépouiller pour enrichir est celle des jetons du Trésor royal qui voit les impôts prélevés comme autant d’investissements dans la richesse du pays. Pourtant il ne semble pas que ce jeton puisse provenir de cette administration.
This logic of plundering to enrich is that of the tokens of the royal treasury, which sees the taxes collected as investments in the country's wealth. Yet it does not seem that this token could come from this administration.

Historical background
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
It was customary in the past to give a treizain during the wedding mass. This treizain was blessed and signified entry into a community of property for the married couple. The treizain, which later became a medal or wedding token, was so called in honor of Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles. This practice continued until the first half of the 20th century. The reference work on the subject is the work of Jules Florange, Love and marriage in numismatics, Moulins, 1936 now replaced by that of Henri Térisse, La Numismatique du Mariage, Argenton-sur-Creuse 2008.
