Commentary
Philippe d’Orléans naît deux ans après Louis XIV et rassure pour l’avenir de la dynastie. Ce jeton a probablement été frappé dès la mort de Louis XIII vers 1645. Le buste d’Anne d’Autriche est inédit au Guéant Prieur, on notera le poids et l’épaisseur du flan, très inusuelle, qui laisse penser que ce jeton pourrait avoir été pensé comme une médaille.
Philippe d'Orléans was born two years after Louis XIV and reassured the future of the dynasty. This token was probably struck immediately after the death of Louis XIII around 1645. The bust of Anne of Austria is unpublished at Guéant Prieur. Note the weight and thickness of the flan, very unusual, which suggests that this token could have been designed as a medal.

Historical background
ANNE OF AUSTRIA
(22/09/1601-25/01/1666)
Anne of Austria is the daughter of Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria. She was born on September 22, 1601. Betrothed to Louis XIII from 1612, she married him in 1615. She had a role erased during her husband's lifetime to such an extent that Alexandre Dumas lent her an affair with the Duke of Buckingham, favorite and prime minister of James I, then of Charles I of England, when the minister came to negotiate the marriage of Charles with Henrietta of France. War broke out with Spain in 1635 and she was accused of maintaining a correspondence with her brother and informing the adversaries of France in 1637. Pregnant after 23 years of marriage, she gave birth at the age of 37, on September 5, to a boy, Louis, the future Louis XIV. She will again give birth to Philippe in 1640. On the death of Louis XIII, on May 14, 1643, she becomes regent after breaking her husband's will. She will govern with the new Prime Minister, Jules, Cardinal de Mazarin.
