Commentary
Poinçon abeille sur la tranche : ce jeton a été frappé entre 1860 et 1879. À noter que ce poinçon n’est pas signalé par Labouret qui ne donne que la lampe.
Les colonnes du temple de Salomon furent nommées Jakin à droite et Boaz à gauche par l’architecte Hiram. Boaz était l’arrière-grand-père de David, Jakin était l’assistant du Grand-prêtre qui officia lors de la consécration du Temple. Ces prénoms se traduisent aussi par “en lui la force” pour Boaz et en “Il établira” pour Jakin.
Bee hallmark on the edge: this token was struck between 1860 and 1879. Note that this hallmark is not reported by Labouret, who only gives the lamp. The columns of Solomon's temple were named Jakin on the right and Boaz on the left by the architect Hiram. Boaz was David's great-grandfather, Jakin was the assistant to the High Priest who officiated at the dedication of the Temple. These first names also translate as \\\"in him the strength\\\" for Boaz and \\\"He will establish\\\" for Jakin

Historical background
FREEMASONRY
The compass and the square are very often associated in an ambivalent symbol of balance: fixity and mobility, passive and active, matter and spirit.. The compass is the tool of the Creator and of the great Architect of the Universe. The spacing of the branches of the compass obeys precise rules and varies according to the three degrees: apprentice, companion, master. The Napoleonic era, in the activity of lodges as in that of many groups, saw a flowering after the terrible years of the revolutionary period. Masonic activity, rid of its republican theories and firmly controlled by a Grand-Master appointed by the Emperor, experienced a vigor in unity never found since.. It is considered that each regiment, each garrison, each city had its Lodge. The testimonies that the sumptuous tokens of the period leave us show that these lodges were rich and influential.. The symbolism is sought after, without comparison with the later eras, which were much more conventional, even bland or destitute at the beginning of the 20th century.. Freemasonry had more than a thousand lodges spread over one hundred and thirty departments and more than sixty thousand Brothers.
