Ce jeton a été utilisé dans un cercle de jeux car cet avers est connu comme revers avec l’avers Heur et Malheur qui est caractéristique et le revers se passe de commentaires. En revanche, nous ne voyons pas à quoi peuvent correspondre les initiales.

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.
