Commentary


Exemplaire dont le coin 1577 a été regravé pour faire 1578. Revers explicite aux couronnes de France et de Pologne avec la légende “manet ultima coelo” : seule la plus élevée reste au ciel.
La chambre des comptes de Bretagne est installée à Nantes où elle forme une survivance dans un fief réuni au domaine royal. Comme les autres chambres des comptes du royaume, elle fonctionne avec des comptables qui transmettent leurs comptes au procureur général. Ce dernier les présentaient au Grand bureau de la chambre des comptes où siégeaient des auditeurs et des correcteurs. Enfin, les maîtres jugeaient les comptes en définitif. Dans la réalité, les chambres des comptes provinciales n'étaient d'aucune utilité pour la comptabilité publique et leur rôle consistait à apurer les comptes envoyés par le Conseil du roi sans autre examen.
example whose 1577 die was re-engraved to make 1578. Reverse explicit with the crowns of France and Poland with the legend “manet ultima coelo”: only the highest remains in heaven. The Chamber of Accounts of Brittany is located in Nantes where it forms a survival in a fief united with the royal domain. Like the other Chambers of Accounts of the kingdom, it operates with accountants who transmit their accounts to the Attorney General. The latter presented them to the Grand Office of the Chamber of Accounts where auditors and correctors sat. Finally, the masters judged the accounts definitively. In reality, the provincial Chambers of Accounts were of no use for public accounting and their role consisted of clearing the accounts sent by the King's Council without further examination.

Historical background


BRITTANY (STATES OF...)

Brittany was, of all the French provinces, the one where the monarchy best respected local privileges and particularities.. Its union only dated back to 1532 and its states were the most turbulent in the kingdom.. Their agreement was necessary for any raising of funds and the execution of all the edicts even sovereigns. They were held every two years. The three orders were represented there with bishops, abbots, representatives of the cities and especially many nobles (six to seven hundred) who generally imposed their will on the others, although the vote was done by order.. The nobles and squires formed what was called the "bastion", tyrannizing the rest of the assembly and were especially attracted by parties and meals.. The main resource of the provincial budget was provided by the "duties", very productive tax on drinks but also the fouage or size on the "fire". Despite these revenues, the administration of the States of Brittany was nevertheless expensive and on the eve of the Revolution, the States were in debt of fifty million pounds. The States have produced about 150 different tokens, intended to be offered to members of its administration as a gratuity: 100 for each president, 50 for each auditor, etc.. .
