Commentary
La description de Feuardent, buste à droite, est manifestement erronnée. Philippe Hecquet marqua son décanat par une nouvelle édition du Codex qui fut finalement imprimée et distribuée en 1732. Il fit aussi élaborer une nouvelle édition des statuts de la Faculté et dota la bibliothèque de la Faculté de plus de 1300 volumes.
Ce type de refrappe a été fait pour collectionneurs et pour pallier à l’impossibilité de trouver certains jetons, rarissimes voire inconnus en frappe originale.
The description of Feuardent, bust to the right, is clearly erroneous. Philippe Hecquet marked his deanship with a new edition of the Codex, which was finally printed and distributed in 1732. He also had a new edition of the Faculty's statutes produced and provided the Faculty's library with more than 1,300 volumes. This type of re-striking was done for collectors and to compensate for the impossibility of finding certain tokens, extremely rare or even unknown in their original form.
