Commentary
Très rare en argent.
Loué par Voltaire, ce grand financier prit sa charge alors que l'Etat avait accumulé deux milliards de livres de dettes. Il réussit à rétablir le crédit grâce aux prêts du banquier Samuel Bernard mais fut destitué par le Régent à la mort de Louis XIV. Digne émule de son oncle Colbert, ses successeurs le firent regretter.
Very rare in silver. Praised by Voltaire, this great financier took charge when the State had accumulated two billion pounds of debt. He managed to restore credit thanks to loans from the banker Samuel Bernard but was dismissed by the Regent upon the death of Louis XIV. A worthy emulator of his uncle Colbert, his successors made him missed.
