Commentary
Cet exemplaire ne porte pas de poinçon comme l’exemplaire en argent présenté dans JETONS II, n° 458. Il est plus que probablement qu’il relève des frappes “révolutionnaires” de la période de la révolution de 1848 et a peut-être remplacé une frappe en cuivre pour laquelle le métal aurait été moins disponible.
This example does not bear a hallmark like the silver example presented in JETONS II, no. 458. It is more than likely that it belongs to the “revolutionary” strikes of the period of the 1848 revolution and may have replaced a copper strike for which the metal would have been less available.

Historical background
BANKS - CRÉDIT INSTITUTIONS
Until the middle of the 19th century, there were only private banks intended for large fortunes like the Rothschilds. They then took the name of investment banks such as the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, the Union Générale, etc. The development of the activity, born of the Industrial Revolution, caused the creation of banks of a new type, for all, called deposit banks. The first was the Comptoir d'escompte founded in 1853. Other establishments followed: Crédit Industriel et Commercial, Crédit Lyonnais (1863), Société Générale, etc..
