Commentary

Louis Phélypeaux, comte de Saint-Florentin, puis duc de La Vrillière (Paris 1705-Paris 1777). secrétaire d'État à la maison du roi (1725-1775) et ministre d'État (1751-1775).
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.
Louis Phélypeaux, Count of Saint-Florentin, then Duke of La Vrillière (Paris 1705-Paris 1777). Secretary of State to the King's Household (1725-1775) and Minister of State (1751-1775). 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 strike.
