Commentary


Intéressante représentation d’un laminoir au revers (haut fourneau selon Feuardent, châssis de moulage selon Guilloteau et Mazard). Ce type est considéré comme une monnaie de confiance par Guilloteau, comme un essai de flan et de métal par Mazard. La fonderie de Maromme était chargée de fournir des flans à la Monnaie de Rouen. Le style de ce jeton rappelle directement celui des tokens anglais de la même période.
Interesting representation of a rolling mill on the reverse (blast furnace according to Feuardent, casting frame according to Guilloteau and Mazard). This type is considered a trusted coin by Guilloteau, as a test of flan and metal by Mazard. The Maromme foundry was responsible for supplying flans to the Rouen Mint. The style of this token is directly reminiscent of English tokens of the same period.

Historical background


REVOLUTION COINAGE / CONFIANCE (MONNAIES DE…)

(1791-1793)

The Monneron Brothers made in England by Matthew Boulton, thanks to Watt's steam engine, coins of 2 and 5 sols in large quantities in the workshop of Soho in Birmingham, from the end of the year 1791. These emergency coins should have made up for the monetary shortage that reigned in France and their technical and aesthetic quality was far superior to the mediocre contemporary official productions in base metals. In March 1792, the Monnerons went bankrupt and Pierre fled. His brother Augustin took over the business, but a law of May 3, 1792 prohibited the manufacture of private coins. In September, a decree prohibits the marketing of trust coins. These coins of necessity circulated in fact until the end of 1793.
