Commentary
Jeton bizarre avec un lettrage au droit qui ne ressemble en rien à ce qui se faisait en 1810. Postérieur, c’est certain, mais qui, quand et pourquoi ? Le coin de revers semble original.
Avec ces petits jetons distribués à la foule lors du mariage, l'Empereur retrouvait l'usage romain des quinaires, monnaies de format et de poids réduits qui servaient très probablement lors des donativa.

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.
