Commentary
En 1713, la paix d'Utrecht, signée entre la France, l'Espagne, l'Angleterre, les Provinces-Unies, le Portugal, la Savoie et la Prusse, met fin à la dernière et pénible guerre de Louis XIV, la Guerre de Succession d'Espagne au cours de laquelle la France se trouve cette fois encore isolée face à une Europe coalisée autour de l'Angleterre, la puissance montante de l'extrême fin du XVIIe et du début du XVIIIe. Ce jeton exprime tout l'espoir et la volonté de revanche qui animent encore le vieux roi dans son royaume bien affaibli par toutes ces années de guerre. Ayant été contraint de renoncer à l'union des royaumes d'Espagne et de France en la personne du Duc d'Anjou, Louis XIV se sent dépouillé de son dû par une Angleterre triomphante en Europe, tant sur le plan politique que commercial et colonial.
In 1713, the Peace of Utrecht, signed between France, Spain, England, the United Provinces, Portugal, Savoy and Prussia, put an end to Louis XIV's last and painful war, the War of the Spanish Succession, during which France once again found itself isolated in the face of a Europe united around England, the rising power of the very end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. This token expresses all the hope and desire for revenge that still animated the old king in his kingdom, weakened by all these years of war. Having been forced to renounce the union of the kingdoms of Spain and France in the person of the Duke of Anjou, Louis XIV felt stripped of his due by an England triumphant in Europe, both politically and commercially and colonially.
