Commentary
Belleteste fut l'un des responsables de l'Hôtel Dieu, habita au collège Louis le Grand, et fut élu trois fois doyen. Il est plausible que cet exemplaire soit d’une frappe postérieure mais sans certitude.
Belleteste was one of the managers of the Hôtel Dieu, lived at the Louis le Grand college, and was elected dean three times. It is plausible that this example is from a later mint, but without certainty.
