Commentary
Selon Fontenay “C’était au fort d’une tempête que le duc de Bourgogne Hugues III, implorant la Vierge Marie, fit vœu d’élever un temple en son honneur ; et, en 1172, il édifiait la Sainte-Chapelle de Dijon qui devint paroisse des ducs et chef-lieu de l’ordre de la Toison d’Or (...) La Sainte-Chapelle rappellait au roi qu’il avait vaincu à Jarnac et à Montcontour ; elle le représentait l’épée haute, couronne en tête, et lui prédisait, dans une légende flatteuse, qu’il remporterait encore la victoire (...) Ce méreau, aux armes de la sainte-Chapelle, fut frappé à l’occasion de la première cérémonie de l’Ordre du Saint-Esprit, institué par Henri III en mémoire de ses avènements aux couronnes de France et de Pologne, le jour de la Pentecôte”
L'ordre du Saint-Esprit date de décembre 1578. Il a été créé par le désir d'Henri III de grouper autour de sa personne un noyau de gentilhommes dévoués et sur lesquels il pourrait compter contre la Ligue. Le roi était le grand maître de cet ordre qui comptait cent chevaliers, plus neuf commandeurs ecclésiastiques et quatre grands officiers : un chancelier, un prévôt, un grand trésorier et un greffier. Les chevaliers de l'ordre du Saint-Esprit étaient en même temps chevalier de l'ordre de Saint-Michel. La croix de l'ordre était suspendue à un cordon bleu d'où le nom de cordons bleus donné aux chevaliers du Saint-Esprit. Le dauphin et les fils de France étaient de droit chevaliers du Saint-Esprit en naissant. Le nom de Saint-Esprit avait été donné en commémoration du fait que l'élection de Henri III au trône de Pologne et son avènement au trône de France étaient arrivés tous deux le jour de la Pentecôte.
According to Fontenay, “It was at the height of a storm that the Duke of Burgundy, Hugh III, imploring the Virgin Mary, made a vow to build a temple in her honor; and, in 1172, he built the Sainte-Chapelle of Dijon, which became the parish of the dukes and the capital of the Order of the Golden Fleece (. . . ) The Sainte-Chapelle reminded the king that he had won at Jarnac and Montcontour; it represented him with his sword held high, crown on his head, and predicted to him, in a flattering legend, that he would win again (. . . ) This medal, bearing the arms of the Sainte-Chapelle, was struck on the occasion of the first ceremony of the Order of the Holy Spirit, instituted by Henry III in memory of his accession to the crowns of France and Poland, on the day of Pentecost. The Order of the Holy Spirit dates from December 1578.. It was created by the desire of Henry III to gather around his person a core of devoted gentlemen on whom he could count against the League.. The king was the grand master of this order, which included one hundred knights, plus nine ecclesiastical commanders and four grand officers: a chancellor, a provost, a grand treasurer and a clerk.. The Knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit were at the same time Knights of the Order of Saint Michael. The cross of the order was suspended from a blue cord, hence the name blue cords given to the knights of the Holy Spirit. The dauphin and the sons of France were by right knights of the Holy Spirit at birth. The name Holy Spirit was given in commemoration of the fact that the election of Henry III to the throne of Poland and his accession to the throne of France both occurred on the day of Pentecost.

Historical background
DIJON (MAYORS OF ... and miscellaneous)
The city of Dijon had a mayor and in general twenty municipal magistrates or aldermen from the time of the birth of feudalism.. These magistrates are confirmed in 1187, when a Charter of commune is granted by the duke Hugues III. At the end of the 13th century, this mayor took the title of viscount mayor, confirmed in 1477-1479 by Louis XI, which he kept until 1789.. Since the end of the 15th century (1491), the office of Viscount Maïeur has been ennobling as well as that of alderman from the 16th century.. The Viscount Maïeur had the right of high, medium and low justice, the right of seal and visit. The keys of the city are entrusted to him and he directs the archers as well as the companies of the seven districts, this military function being important until the XVIIth century. Elective function, the Viscount Maïeur is elected by the inhabitants, neither beggars nor foreigners, who pay the size, generally on the eve of Saint John. From 1669, he was allowed to wear “a long robe of full satin, violet in color, lined with crimson red satin, like the provost of the merchants of Lyon, with a hood of the same fabric and color edged with ermine” in order to to stand out from the locals. In 1692, the function of Viscount Maïeur was created as a hereditary office while the election was no longer a confirmation of the royal choice made by the governor in the name of the king.. Represented on the seals, the Viscount Maïeur then had his arms appear on the tokens from 1553, then his initials quickly replaced by his title and name.. These tokens are originally intended to make the accounts which indicate quite well the legends of the first tokens POR CAMERA COMPOTORUM CITY, For the chamber of accounts of the city then PRO RATION REDD. URB. DIVISION. , For the accountability of the city of Dijon. They quickly become a payment for the right of presence as can be the rights of spices, candles, etc.. . At the end of the 17th century, silver tokens appear in this series and we can assume that their function is now only representative.. Bibliography: Collection of engraved plates from the collection of tokens from the towns and mayors of Dijon, Beaune and Auxonne, from the cabinet of C. -NOT. Amanton, Dijon, 1824 (printed at 20 ex. ) and edition of Henri Baudot and F. Rabut according to Ferdinand Amanton, Historical and chronological summary of the establishment of the commune and of the viscount mayors or mayors of Dijon, on the attributions assigned to these magistrates and on the established practice of striking tokens during the administration of each of them, published in the Memoirs of the Antiquities Commission of the Côte-d'Or, Volume VIII, 1870-1873.
