Commentary
Le type de revers avec une allégorie féminine tenant deux cornes d’abondance, est différente du type décrit par Feuardent et confirmé par des exemplaires vus. Pourtant, aucune raison probante d’attribuer ce jeton à Nuremberg.
The reverse type, with a female allegory holding two horns of plenty, is different from the type described by Feuardent and confirmed by examples seen. However, there is no convincing reason to attribute this token to Nuremberg.

Historical background
CHAMBRE DES COMPTES DU ROI / ACCOUNTS CHAMBER OF THE KING
Like the King's Council, the Chamber of Accounts is a dismemberment of the former king's court, in the part responsible for overseeing the royal domain, handling finances and auditing the accounts of the king's agents. His role was to register edicts and declarations concerning the estate, letters of ennoblement, naturalization, pensions, etc. She also recorded the marriage contracts of the royal family, the peace treaties. The Chamber of Accounts had civil and criminal jurisdiction over its own officers and over offenses committed within its enclosure near the Sainte-Chapelle. It extended its jurisdiction to the entire kingdom in certain areas (war, navy, colonies, royal treasury, roads and bridges, etc.) but the provincial chambers of accounts removed certain accounts from its jurisdiction. The Chamber of Accounts boasted of being the oldest in the kingdom, before Parliament. Its officers enjoyed important privileges: nobility, title of king's advisers, franc-salé, tax exemptions, corvées, etc..
