Commentary
Jeton particulièrement énigmatique que nous attribuons à Nuremberg bien qu’il ne soit pas signé et que son style soit excellent. En effet, il est d’un diamètre légèrement réduit, d’un poids léger et surtout d’un axe irrégulier. Si ce n’est Nuremberg, c’est à coup sur un atelier non officiel.
Notons par ailleurs que le revers est copié sur un coin de 1634 (Voir Feuardent 12192 où les couronnes sont bien particulières et différentes de celles du jeton de la Cour des Monnaies de 1609) et que les ateliers de Nuremberg ont souvent plagié des types de la Cour des Monnaies, voir par exemple les jetons d’André Hac.
Bien entendu, une autre raison de penser à un jeton non officiel est qu’il existe, pour l’année 1635, un jeton officiel.
A particularly enigmatic token that we attribute to Nuremberg, although it is not signed and its style is excellent. Indeed, it is slightly reduced in diameter, light in weight, and above all, has an irregular axis. If it is not Nuremberg, it is certainly an unofficial mint. Note also that the reverse is copied from a die from 1634 (See Feuardent 12192 where the crowns are very particular and different from those of the token of the Court of Mints of 1609) and that the Nuremberg mints often plagiarized types from the Court of Mints, see for example the tokens of André Hac. Of course, another reason to think of an unofficial token is that there exists, for the year 1635, an official token

Historical background
COUR DES MONNAIES DE PARIS
(1552-1791)
In the Middle Ages, the Chamber of coins, located in the Palace, in the same premises as the Chamber of Accounts, was responsible for monitoring mints.. In 1522, Francis I gave it the powers of a real court to judge cases relating to counterfeit coin.. In 1552, Henry II erected this Chamber into a sovereign court, better known as the Cour des coins de Paris. The Court of coins of Paris had, in addition to its judicial powers, a political function (remonstrances, drafting of certain edicts. . . ) and control over weights and measures (it kept in particular the so-called "Charlemagne" pile). From 1704 to 1771 it gave up part of its jurisdiction in favor of the Cour des coins de Lyon. The Paris coin Court was abolished in 1791, during the Revolution. The Provost General of coins was a company responsible for policing coins and enforcing the judgments of the Cour des coins in the 17th and 18th centuries.. At its head, the provost general of the coins was an officer established to know the crimes of counterfeit coin and to instruct summarily the trials of counterfeit coin, the proceedings of which were then presented to the Court of the coins.
