Commentary
Séraphin de Mauroy, un intendant du roi, racheta en 1627 les droits seigneuriaux de Saint Ouen. Son successeur, Joachim Seiglières, seigneur de Boisfranc et surintendant des finances de Monsieur, le frère de Louis XV, fit construire en 1670, par l'architecte Antoine Lepautre (1621-1691). Nous n’avons pas trouvé d’explication au lien sur ce jeton entre Mauroy et la Cour des monnaies.
Refrappe certaine bien que le jeton soit sans poinçon. Ce type de refrappe a été fait pour collectionneurs et pour pallier à l’impossibilité de trouver certains jetons, rarissimes voire inconnus en frappe originale. En vingt ans de commerce de jetons nous n’avons jamais pu offrir ce jeton en original. Ce type n’est signalé par Feuardent que comme refrappe.

His successor, Joachim Seiglières, lord of Boisfranc and superintendent of finances for Monsieur, the brother of Louis XV, had it built in 1670 by the architect Antoine Lepautre (1621-1691). We have not found an explanation for the link on this token between Mauroy and the Cour des monnaies. Certainly a re-strike, although the token is without a hallmark. This type of re-strike was done for collectors and to compensate for the impossibility of finding certain tokens, extremely rare or even unknown in their original mintage. In twenty years of trading in tokens, we have never been able to offer this token in its original form. This type is only reported by Feuardent as a re-strike

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.
