Commentary


Ce jeton est d’autant plus important que le carré de droit semble reproduire un coin de droit de denier tournois : la légende “Rendez à César ce qui est à César” aurait-elle conduit à représenter une monnaie, choisie suffisamment petite pour s’intégrer dans le diamètre du jeton ?
On se souvient que le Christ prononce cette phrase alors qu’on lui montre une monnaie romaine portant le portrait de l’empereur régnant, donc représentant la puissance temporelle, statut de Louis XIII en 1633. Nous n’avons pas d’information certaine concernant le sens de ce rare et énigmatique jeton.
Gérard Crépin, auteur du CGKL sur les deniers et doubles tournois, indique que le coin n’est pas celui d’un denier tournois mais que le poinçon de buste est celui du buste utilisé à Paris entre 1625 et 1631 (type CGKL 404) avec une légende différente.
This token is all the more important as the obverse square seems to reproduce a denier tournois obverse die: could the legend “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s” have led to the representation of a coin, chosen small enough to fit within the diameter of the token? We remember that Christ pronounces this phrase when he is shown a Roman coin bearing the portrait of the reigning emperor, thus representing the temporal power, the status of Louis XIII in 1633. We have no certain information concerning the meaning of this rare and enigmatic token. Gérard Crépin, author of the CGKL on deniers and double tournois, indicates that the die is not that of a denier tournois but that the bust punch is that of the bust used in Paris between 1625 and 1631 (type CGKL 404) with a different legend

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.
