Commentary
Nous pensons que ce jeton a été utilisé dans un cercle car l’avers Heur et Malheur est caractéristique mais nous ne voyons absolument pas comment interpréter dans le sens d’une profession particulière la scène du revers.
Nous considérons ce jeton comme d’une frappe récente car la texture du métal, les listels plats, les traces de sablage sur le droit font penser à une frappe des années 1960 ou 1970 avec utilisation d’un coin de droit ancien.

We consider this token as a recent strike because the texture of the metal, the flat strips, the traces of sandblasting on the obverse suggest a strike from the 1960s or 1970s with the use of an old obverse die

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.
