Commentary

Henri IV se convertit à Saint-Denis, le 25 juillet 1593, ne laissant plus grand prétexte à la noblesse bretonne révoltée; et il nomme le maréchal d 'Aumont gouverneur de Bretagne ... Mercoeur, prudent, accepte une trêve. C’est la première fois que nous proposons à la vente ce jeton.
Henry IV converted in Saint-Denis on July 25, 1593, leaving no more excuses for the rebellious Breton nobility; and he named Marshal d'Aumont governor of Brittany... Mercoeur, prudent, accepted a truce. This is the first time that we are offering this token for sale
