Jeton de la nourrice de Louis XV. Un livre a été écrit sur ce personnage http://www.amazon.fr/Marie-Madeleine-Mercier-nourrice-Louis-XV/dp/226202457X .
Louis XV lui a accordé le blason que l’on voit sur le jeton. Les deux fleurs de lys et les deux dauphins représentent les deux rois et les deux dauphins qu'elle a allaités. Il est coupé d'azur et d'or, l'azur chargé de deux fleurs de lys d'or, & l'or de deux dauphins adossés, d'azur, barbés, oreillés de gueules.
