Les variations par rapport au type décrit par Feuardent sont tellement majeures que l’on peut se demander si la description de Feuardent n’est pas fautive : il semble aberrant que les légendes et types, avers et revers, soient inversés .

Historical background


CHAMBRE DES COMPTES DE DIJON / ACCOUNTS CHAMBER OF DIJON

The Chamber of Accounts already existed in the time of the kings of Burgundy. In 1319, it settled down and became the second in the kingdom on the model of that of Paris. For its service, tokens were made from the beginning of the 15th century. The Chamber gains funds from the payment of spices and "refreshments". These funds are devoted in the 17th century to make tokens which are then distributed to the presidents, masters and people of the king, suitors and auditors, clerk and receiver of spices in the form of a purse or half-purse.
