Commentary
Sur ce jeton, Louis fait mention de son cardinalat et de sa filiation (d'Este). En aucun cas, il ne rappelle qu'il est le petit-fils de Louis XII, roi de France et neveu de François Ier par sa mère, Renée de France. Ce jeton est frappé au moment où le cardinal tenait une place importante dans les relations diplomatiques entre la France et le Saint-Siège. La légende de revers est liée à une constellation, en mouvement et immuable.
Louis d'Este appartient à une illustre famille princière d'Italie : la famille d'Este. Cette famille fait remonter son origine au commencement du onzième siècle. La famille d'Este s'implanta à Modène après avoir été chassée de Ferrare.
Louis d'Este est le fils de Hercule II d'Este, duc de Modène, de Ferrare et de Reggio, et de la princesse Renée de France, duchesse de Chartres et de Montargis.
Louis, cardinal d'Est, est nommé commandeur de l'ordre du S. Esprit sous le règne de Henri III, le 31 décembre 1579 .
On this token, Louis mentions his cardinalate and his lineage (d'Este). In no case does he recall that he is the grandson of Louis XII, King of France and nephew of Francis I through his mother, Renée of France. This token was struck at a time when the cardinal held an important place in diplomatic relations between France and the Holy See. The reverse legend is linked to a constellation, moving and immutable. Louis d'Este belongs to an illustrious princely family of Italy: the d'Este family. This family traces its origins to the beginning of the eleventh century. The d'Este family settled in Modena after being expelled from Ferrara. Louis d'Este is the son of Hercules II d'Este, Duke of Modena, Ferrara and Reggio, and Princess Renée of France, Duchess of Chartres and Montargis. Louis, Cardinal of the East, was named Commander of the Order of the Holy Spirit during the reign of Henri III, on December 31, 1579
