Commentary
Jeton hybride, le coin utilisé au revers est authentique et ne pose pas de problème, en revanche, le coin d’avers est complètement farfelu. Il semblerait que ce jeton soit issu d’une frappe frauduleuse. Sur la tranche, l’aspect granuleux fait constat de l’usage de deux coins différents.
Au style, ce jeton a été copié pour le droit sur le fjt_304426.
Hybrid token, the die used on the reverse is authentic and does not pose a problem, however, the obverse die is completely wacky. It would appear that this token is the result of a fraudulent strike. On the edge, the grainy appearance indicates the use of two different dies. In terms of style, this token was copied for the right on fjt_304426

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.
