Commentary
Ce treizain est en réalité composé de douze deniers à épouser au format du denier tournois. Les deniers sont de type bractéates assemblés. La coutume voulait que le prêtre prélève l’un des deniers du treizain. Les explications de Monsieur Térisse notamment, laissent entendre que le 13 étant un nombre maléfique, il fallait exclure un denier de son ensemble, représentant par ailleurs en quelques sorte, le “denier de Judas”.

Custom dictated that the priest would take one of the denarii from the treizain. The explanations of Monsieur Térisse in particular, suggest that since 13 is an evil number, it was necessary to exclude one denarius from its set, representing, moreover, in some way, the “denarius of Judas”

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.
