Commentary


Manque au Feuardent.
Selon la Revue Belge de Numismatique (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL14038905M) l’orthographe singulière de METHENSIS -au lieu de METENSIS- nous dit qu’il n’aurait pas été frappé sur l’initiative la municipalité de Metz. Ceci étant, Nicolas Briot en reste le graveur.
.
Missing from the Feuardent. According to the Belgian Numismatic Review (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL14038905M), the unusual spelling of METHENSIS—instead of METENSIS—tells us that it was not struck on the initiative of the municipality of Metz. That being said, Nicolas Briot remains the engraver.

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.
