Commentary
Ces jetons fabriqués à Nuremberg ont certainement été utilisés par l'administration des bâtiments du roi pour compter, de la même manière que Paparel faisait venir les siens pour les besoins de l'ordinaire des guerres.
These tokens made in Nuremberg were certainly used by the administration of the king's buildings for counting, in the same way that Paparel had his own brought for the ordinary needs of war.

Historical background
BÂTIMENTS DU ROI
Under the Ancien Régime, the administration of the King's Buildings, dependent on the department of the House of the King, was mainly responsible for works ordered by the sovereign, in his residences in Paris or the surrounding area. There is an excellent article on wikipedia at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A2timents_du_Roi.
