Commentary
Semble rare avec cette effigie. La première chambre de commerce fut celle de Marseille créée à la fin du XVIe siècle. Pour Paris, les six corps des marchands et les juges-consuls avaient un rôle similaire à celui d'une chambre de commerce : une association de commerçants réunis pour délibérer sur les intérêts de leur ville ou de leur région et donner leur avis au gouvernement. Colbert les légalise en 1664 en instaurant que chaque place de commerce choisira deux d'entre eux pour les représenter. L'institution ne fut toutefois établie réellement que par l'arrêt du Conseil du 30 août 1701 et de nombreuses chambres de commerce apparaissent au XVIIIe siècle à Lyon, Rouen, Toulouse, Montpellier, Bordeaux, etc.. La plus importante d'entre elles est Marseille qui avait des attributions dans tout le commerce du Levant et était du département des Affaires étrangères, les autres relevaient du Contrôle général des Finances. Supprimées par la Constituante en 1791, les chambres de commerce sont rétablies sous le Consulat. Depuis 1832, leur recrutement se fait par élections, elles sont devenues chambres de commerce et d'industrie depuis 1898, regroupées en 21 chambres régionales.

Historical background
CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE / CHAMBRES DE COMMERCE
The first chamber of commerce was that of Marseille, created at the end of the 16th century. For Paris, the six corps of merchants and the judge-consuls had a role similar to that of a chamber of commerce: an association of merchants gathered to deliberate on the interests of their city or region and to give their opinion to the government. Colbert legalizes them in 1664 by establishing that each place of commerce will choose two of them to represent them. However, the institution was not really established until the decision of the Council of August 30, 1701, and many chambers of commerce appeared in the 18th century in Lyon, Rouen, Toulouse, Montpellier, Bordeaux, etc. The most important of them is Marseilles which had attributions in all the trade of Levant and was of the department of Foreign Affairs, the others concerned the General control of Finances. Abolished by the Constituent Assembly in 1791, the chambers of commerce were re-established under the Consulate. Since 1832, their recruitment is done by elections, they have become chambers of commerce and industry since 1898, grouped into 21 regional chambers.
