Commentary
D'après Feuardent, ce jeton aurait été fabriqué à l'instigation de Jules Mazarin pour commémorer la naissance d'un fils à Louis XIII le 5 septembre 1638 après vingt trois ans de mariage avec Anne d'Autriche.Il compare le roi à César ramenant l'Age d'or. Les "Douze Césars" de Suétone reviennent à la mode et de nombreuses séries de jetons reproduisent les empereurs romains de César à Domitien. D'autre part, Jules Mazarin, italien, grand amateur d'art et admirateur de l'Empire Romain, a pu vouloir marquer l'événement providentiel qui donnait un héritier au royaume de France et lui fit adjoindre parmi ses prénoms, Dieudonné (Dieu nous l'a donné). Qualité de gravure exceptionnelle.
According to Feuardent, this token was made at the instigation of Jules Mazarin to commemorate the birth of a son to Louis XIII on September 5, 1638, after twenty-three years of marriage to Anne of Austria. He compares the king to Caesar bringing back the Golden Age. Suetonius' \\\"Twelve Caesars\\\" are back in fashion, and many series of tokens reproduce the Roman emperors from Caesar to Domitian. On the other hand, Jules Mazarin, an Italian, great art lover and admirer of the Roman Empire, may have wanted to mark the providential event that gave an heir to the kingdom of France and added Dieudonné (God gave him to us) among his first names. Exceptional engraving quality

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.
