Le symbole du revers fait référence à la mode des expériences de physique, science nouvelle à l'époque.
À noter que Feuardent orthographie RACIO et non RATIO, nous avons corrigé sans savoir s’il s’agit d’une erreur de Feuardent ou du graveur qui avait réalisé l’exemplaire de référence.
The symbol on the reverse refers to the fashion for physics experiments, a new science at the time. Note that Feuardent spells RACIO and not RATIO, we have corrected it without knowing if it is an error by Feuardent or by the engraver who made the reference copy

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..
