Commentary
De frappe soignée et probablement réalisé par l’une des presses de Nicolas Briot qui signe ce jeton de son monogramme. Nicolas Briot réalise en 1608 des jetons pour Rouen. Il est aussi dans l’Est où il travaille à Charleville (MONNAIES XVII n° 2057 et 2158, jeton qui réalise 235 euros sur une offre maximale à 600 euros).
Carefully struck and probably produced by one of Nicolas Briot's presses, who signed this token with his monogram. Nicolas Briot produced tokens for Rouen in 1608. He was also in the East, where he worked in Charleville (MONNAIES XVII n° 2057 and 2158, token which achieved 235 euros on a maximum offer of 600 euros)

Historical background
LORRAINE - CITY OF METZ
(Sixteenth century)
By the Treaty of Chambord of January 15, 1552, the German princes cede the Three Bishoprics to France in return for assistance from Henry II intended to overthrow Charles V from the imperial throne. In April, the Three Bishoprics are occupied. Charles Quint came to lay siege to Metz in November 1552. The city was defended by François de Guise. The siege led by the Duke of Alba must be lifted on January 2, 1553. In the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis, on April 3, 1559, the possession of the Three Bishoprics is confirmed to France.
