Commentary
Deux des pattes de la monture ont été coupées afin de retirer le jeton de son montage.
Ce jeton d'un très beau travail artistique est relatif à leur mariage en 1727. D'Aumont fut plus tard le duc de Mazarin et de la Meilleraye.
Cet exemplaire, refrappé, a servi de jeton de mariage au couple dont les initiales sont MB.

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.
