Commentary
Loge fondée en 1776. Nous pouvons lire très attentivement dans l’ouvrage de Marc Labouret les informations qui suivent. “Le nom de cette loge se réfère aux neuf muses des arts et des sciences. Cette loge regroupa de nombreux intellectuels, savants et penseurs des Lumières. Voltaire fut initié par cette loge. Benjamin Franklin, ambassadeur en France des colonies anglaises d’Amérique joua un role important pour convaincre la France de combattre pour l’indépendance américaine. Franklin deviendra vénérable de cette loge. Cette médaille serait frappée à l’occasion du cinquantième anniversaire de la nouvelle fonction de Franklin au sein de cette loge. Il n’est pas à exclure que ce jeton soit postérieur à l’extinction de la loge en 1848. Dans ce cas, il serait imputable à une autre loge homonyme à Bordeaux ou à Paris...”.
