Commentary

Tixier portait d’azur, à une croix d’or cantonnée aux 1 et 4 de deux étoiles d’argent, aux 2 et 3 de deux trèfles de même. Ce jeton est signé de Gérard Léonard Hérard, né à Liège en 1630, décédé à Paris en 1675. Il était membre de l’Académie de peinture et de sculpture depuis 1670. Un article lui est consacré dans la Revue Belge de Numismatique de 1891.
