Commentary

Manque à Feuardent comme type. L’attribution de celui-ci à Meaux, apparemment sur la seule base de l’initiale, semble douteuse d’autant plus que le jeton qu’il référence, comme le nôtre, ont des avers banaux. La qualité de la gravure du nôtre semble pourtant exclure Nuremberg.
Feuardent is missing as a type. The attribution of this one to Meaux, apparently on the sole basis of the initial, seems doubtful, especially since the token it references, like ours, have banal obverses. The quality of the engraving on ours, however, seems to exclude Nuremberg.
