Commentary
Avec la trace de cassure de coin à sept heures au revers déjà observé sur plusieurs jetons à l’effigie de Louis XV. Âgé de soixante ans, Louis XV, ayant perdu son fils Louis en 1765, voulait marier le dauphin, le futur Louis XVI, âgé de seize ans. Il lui fit épouser la fille de l'impératrice Marie-Thérèse et de l'empereur François Ier : Marie-Antoinette, âgée de quinze ans. Marie-Antoinette était également la sœur de l'empereur Joseph II (1765-1790). Le mariage eut lieu le 16 mai 1770 dans la chapelle du château de Versailles. L’opéra, réalisé par Jacques-Ange Gabriel est inauguré à cette occasion.
With the trace of a die break at seven o'clock on the reverse already observed on several tokens bearing the effigy of Louis XV. Aged sixty, Louis XV, having lost his son Louis in 1765, wanted to marry the dauphin, the future Louis XVI, aged sixteen. He had him marry the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I: Marie-Antoinette, aged fifteen. Marie-Antoinette was also the sister of Emperor Joseph II (1765-1790). The marriage took place on May 16, 1770 in the chapel of the Palace of Versailles. The opera, directed by Jacques-Ange Gabriel, was inaugurated on this occasion
