Commentary
La représentation du revers rappelle que Joseph Philip exploita le privilège de la distribution des médicaments dans les provinces pour le compte du Roi. C'est pour prouver qu'il n'était pas empoisonneur dans l'exercice de cette lucrative exploitation qu'il fit représenter cette scène sur ce jeton. Il s’agit bien la refrappe inscrite dans le Feuardent sous la référence F.4669.
The representation on the reverse recalls that Joseph Philip exploited the privilege of distributing medicines in the provinces on behalf of the King. It was to prove that he was not a poisoner in the exercise of this lucrative exploitation that he had this scene depicted on this token. This is indeed the re-strike inscribed in the Feuardent under the reference F.4669
