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 regroupant des médecins ou des chirurgiens car tant Apollon qu’Hygie sont leurs dieux tutélaires. La frappe est en flan mat.
We believe that this token was used in a circle because the obverse of Happiness and Misfortune is characteristic and that it was a circle grouping doctors or surgeons because both Apollo and Hygieia are their tutelary gods. The strike is in matte flan

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.
