Commentary


Un point au-dessus du fleuron central de la couronne au droit. Rosette à cinq pétales au revers. Cassure de coin caractéristique de ce numéro de Daniel particulièrement longue au droit. Elle commence au listel à côté de DES et se termine à la couronne.
Ce type est sans millésime mais il date de la présidence du clergé de Monseigneur de La Motte-Houdencour. Deux autres jetons datés de 1655 sont connus.
A dot above the central fleuron of the crown on the obverse. Five-petal rosette on the reverse. Die break characteristic of this issue of Daniel is particularly long on the obverse. It begins at the rim next to DES and ends at the crown. This type is without a date but it dates from the presidency of the clergy of Monseigneur de La Motte-Houdencour. Two other tokens dated 1655 are known.

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.. .
