Commentary
Frappe médaille. Ce jeton doit dater des alentours de 1615.
La légende VVLTV QVO COELVM n’a guère de sens si l’on omet la suite du vers de l’Énéide TEMPESTATESQVE SERENAT. Pris dans son ensemble, le vers se traduit par “ Avec un visage qui apaise le ciel et les tempêtes ”.
Medal strike. This token must date from around 1615. The legend VVLTV QVO COELVM makes little sense if we omit the continuation of the verse from the Aeneid TEMPESTATESQVE SERENAT. Taken as a whole, the verse translates as “With a face that calms the sky and the storms”

Historical background
LOUIS XIII THE JUST
(05/14/1610-05/14/1643)
Louis XIII was born on September 27, 1601. He became king on the assassination of Henri IV on May 14, 1610 and was crowned on October 17, 1610. During his minority, the regency was entrusted to Marie de Médicis. Sully resigned in 1611, Concini became Queen's Counsel and was appointed Marshal of France in 1613. The revolt of the Great forces the Queen to convene the States General in 1614, the last time before the Revolution. The king became an adult at the age of 13 and married Anne of Austria (1601-1666) on November 28, 1615. Richelieu entered the Council in 1616 at the request of Concini who was assassinated on April 24, 1617 by the captain of the guards, Vitry. Louis XIII exiled his mother to Blois then reconciled with her, thanks to Richelieu, in 1619 but Marie revolted again in 1620. In 1621, de Luynes, a friend of Louis XIII, was appointed constable of France. Richelieu is named cardinal in 1622 and enters the Council, he is prime minister in 1624.
