Commentary
Nous nous référons pour le classement de ce jeton à la collection du Musée Dobrée dont le classement semble faire le consensus parmi les amateurs spécialisés.
Trois coins de droit, deux de revers, sont connus pour cette tenue selon Daniel. Notre exemplaire est du deuxième type avec la sixième moucheture qui disparaît à moitié dans le troisième quartier de l’écu écartelé au revers. Selon les documents publiés par Robert, le compte de fabrication de jetons en 1685 est de 6800 livres : 3000 livres pour le compte de l’ordinaire, 2300 livres pour l’état de fonds et 1500 livres supplémentaires pour la commission pour le calcul des intérêts.

Three obverse dies, two reverse dies, are known for this outfit according to Daniel. Our example is of the second type with the sixth speckle which half disappears in the third quarter of the quartered shield on the reverse. According to the documents published by Robert, the token manufacturing account in 1685 was 6800 livres: 3000 livres for the ordinary account, 2300 livres for the statement of funds and an additional 1500 livres for the commission for calculating interest.

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.. .
