Commentary
Coin de revers avec un petit millésime, coin de droit identique à celui des jetons précédents en argent. Les trois pièces du blason sont une dégénérescence des anciennes monnaies chartraines, les deniers au type bléso-chartrain.
Reverse die with a small date, obverse die identical to that of the previous silver tokens. The three pieces of the coat of arms are a degeneration of the old Chartres coins, the deniers of the bléso-chartrain type

Apanage, the county was erected into a duchy in 1528 for the benefit of Renée de France , Duchess of Ferrara. Henri IV was consecrated there on February 27, 1594 in the cathedral. Under Louis XIV, the duchy of Chartres is given to the house of Orléans whose heir will carry, until Louis-Philippe, the title of duke of Chartres.
