Commentary
Il est possible que ce jeton soit une restitution postérieure, le style tant pour le lettrage que pour la frappe fait penser à la fin XVIIIe. La généalogie de la famille Phelypeaux par Etienne Pattou est en ligne à http://racineshistoire.free.fr/LGN/PDF/Phelypeaux.pdf et celle de la famille Pontchartrain, du même auteur, se trouve à http://racineshistoire.free.fr/LGN/PDF/Pontchartrain.pdf.
It is possible that this token is a later restitution, the style of both the lettering and the typing is reminiscent of the late 18th century. The genealogy of the Phelypeaux family by Etienne Pattou is online at http://racineshistoire.free.fr/LGN/PDF/Phelypeaux.pdf and that of the Pontchartrain family, by the same author, is at http://racineshistoire.free.fr/LGN/PDF/Pontchartrain.pdf

Historical background
BLOIS AND THE BLAISOIS - GENTRY AND TOWNS
The town of Blois was in the 9th century, the seat of the county of Robert le Fort. Thibaut de Chartres seized it during the reign of Charles the Simple and the county remained with his descendants until 1391, when the county was sold to Louis I of France, Duke of Orléans. His grandson, Louis XII, ascending the throne, unites the county to the Crown. Favorite residence of the Valois, its castle was rebuilt and enlarged during the 16th and 17th centuries. The States-General were held there in 1576 and 1588, famous for the assassination of the Duke of Guise. The government took refuge there in 1814. Blois is today the capital of the department of Loir-et-Cher.
