Commentary
L’un des rares jetons à ne pas exprimer son sujet avec franchise... la loi du 28 mai 1838 est la loi fondamentale sur les faillites qui humanise le sort des faillis et qui sera simplement adaptée ultérieurement dans les multiples versions qui suivront. On peut supposer que ce jeton a été frappé par les syndics de faillite qui n’ont pas osé exprimer clairement leur fonction.
One of the few tokens that does not express its subject frankly... the law of May 28, 1838 is the fundamental law on bankruptcy that humanizes the fate of bankrupts and which will simply be adapted later in the multiple versions that follow. We can assume that this token was struck by the bankruptcy trustees who did not dare to clearly express their function
