Commentary
En août 1667, Louis XIV est vainqueur à Lille. Il ne change rien aux privilèges de la ville et les Etats font aussitôt graver leurs armes au revers de l'effigie du souverain.
In August 1667, Louis XIV was victorious at Lille. He did not change the city's privileges, and the States immediately had their coats of arms engraved on the back of the sovereign's effigy.

Historical background
LILLE
The city of Lille has been mentioned in texts since the 11th century. Fortified, it was taken by Philippe Auguste in 1214, by Philippe le Bel in 1297, then it passed to the Dukes of Burgundy after the marriage of Marguerite, daughter of Louis de Male with Philippe le Hardi. Philippe le Bon made it one of his favorite residences and founded the Order of the Golden Fleece there. It then belonged to the Habsburgs and was part of the Spanish Netherlands. Louis XIV seized it during the War of Devolution in 1667 and had it fortified by Vauban. Taken by Prince Eugene in 1708, it was returned to France during the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.
