Commentary
Nous pensons que ce jeton a été utilisé dans un cercle car l’avers Heur et Malheur est caractéristique et qu’il s’agissait d’un cercle militaire car ils étaient nombreux et que la décoration de l’avers ne peut faire penser à autre chose.
We believe that this token was used in a circle because the obverse Heur et Malheur is characteristic and that it was a military circle because there were many of them and the decoration on the obverse cannot suggest anything else.

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.
