Commentary


Ce type de revers symbolisant l'Unité sera repris pour la fabrication des monnerons révolutionnaires. "Présentement, les six corps des marchands de Paris ne sont autres que les drapiers, les épiciers, les merciers, les pelletiers, les bonnetiers et les orfèvres. Et ce sont eux seulement qui, aux entrées tant des empereurs, des rois et des reines que des légats, leur vont rendre les devoirs avec le prévôt des marchands, les échevins et le corps de ville et même leur portent le dais, les uns après les autres, dans l'ordre que je les ai nommés, revêtus chacun de robes et de toques de soie de différentes couleurs." Sauval. Les six corps rendent compte de la hiérarchie qui se forma entre les différentes corporations de Paris. C'est en 1431, à l'occasion du couronnement de Henri VI, que la supériorité des six corps avait commencé de s'affirmer. C'était eux qui avaient porté le dais sous lequel le roi avait fait son entrée.
This type of reverse symbolizing Unity will be used again for the manufacture of revolutionary coins. \\\"Currently, the six corps of merchants of Paris are none other than the drapers, the grocers, the haberdashers, the furriers, the hosiers and the goldsmiths. And it is they alone who, at the entrances of emperors, kings and queens as well as legates, will pay them their respects with the provost of merchants, the aldermen and the city council and even carry the canopy for them, one after the other, in the order that I have named them, each dressed in robes and silk caps of different colors.\\\" Sauval. The six corps reflect the hierarchy that formed between the different corporations of Paris. It was in 1431, on the occasion of the coronation of Henry VI, that the superiority of the six corps had begun to assert itself. It was they who had carried the canopy under which the king had made his entrance.

Historical background


CORPORATIONS

In Rome, groups of artisans already existed: forming a college placed under the protection of a divinity, with a common house and fund. In medieval Europe, probably from religious brotherhoods, economic groups were formed between merchants called hanse or ghilde.. With the development of trade, craftsmen organized themselves into trade bodies or communities which brought together all those who practiced the same profession: masters, journeymen or apprentices.. To enter the body, you had to "swear" the profession. Alongside, there were free professions that could be practiced by all.. Each corps was headed by a collegial management responsible for enforcing the regulations of the trade, protecting the trade from competition and directing the mutual benefit society.. At the end of the 17th century, the king began to sell the functions of jurors and corporate trustees as hereditary offices, which led to serious financial difficulties at a time when the corporations no longer met the new economic requirements of the development of industry and business concentration. It is also in England that the corporations disappeared spontaneously because of the industrial revolution.. The corporations will be abolished in France in 1791 by the Constituent Assembly.
