Commentary
La famille d’Estrées est originaire de Picardie. Les armes de Jean d’Estrées sont d’argent fretté de sable, au chef d’or chargé de trois merlettes du second. Feuardent indique que Jean d’Estrées avait été page en Bretagne. Nous retrouvons ses armes sur les jetons des Bombardiers (F. 1140 et 1141). Un autre jeton de ce type se rencontre pour 1566 (C. 1761). Les jetons de Jean d’Estrées sont datés de la période 1563-1571 (C. 1759-1764). Nous retrouvons ce revers pour un jeton de Charles IX (F. 11675).

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..
