Commentary
L'actuelle Châtelaillon tire son origine d’une puissante forteresse qui comptait quatorze tours, sise sur un promontoire dominant la mer et les marais. Le casino existe toujours et a un site internet. On peut probablement dater notre jeton des années 1930.
The present-day Châtelaillon originated from a powerful fortress with fourteen towers, perched on a promontory overlooking the sea and marshes. The casino still exists and has a website. Our token can probably be dated to the 1930s.

Historical background
AUNIS AND LA ROCHELLE
Between Poitou and Saintonge, Aunis has La Rochelle as its capital and also includes the towns of Brouage and Rochefort. Possession of the Plantagenets, it was taken in 1224 then lost during the Treaty of Brétigny (1360). Aunis revolts shortly after and gives itself to King Charles V. It is one of the bastions of Protestantism in the 16th century and at the beginning of the 17th century until the capture of La Rochelle in 1628.
