Commentary
Les bustes de type GP.532 datent de 1724 mais rien ne permet ici d’exclure une utilisation tardive du buste. Nous pouvons donc juste dire que ce jeton a été frappé après 1724. La tranche est lissealors que le jeton est sans conteste en argent : le jeton de jeu d’un cercle privé ?.
The GP.532 type busts date from 1724, but nothing here allows us to exclude a late use of the bust. We can therefore simply say that this token was struck after 1724. The edge is smooth, while the token is undoubtedly made of silver: the gaming token of a private circle?

LOUIS XV THE BELOVED
(1/09/1715-10/05/1774)
Louis XV succeeded Louis XIV on September 1, 1715 and Philippe d'Orléans was sole regent. The quadruple alliance in 1717 aims to maintain the European balance with France, Austria, England and the United Provinces. During his visit to France, Tsar Peter I signed a bilateral treaty of understanding. In 1718, Abbé Dubois became Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Sacred Archbishop of Cambrai in 1720, Prime Minister in 1722, he died on August 10, 1723. France declared war on Spain in 1719 to prevent Philip V from overthrowing the Regent. The capture of San Sebastian and Hondarribia marks the end of hostilities. In 1720, Philippe V joined the Quadruple Alliance and renounced the throne of France by the Treaty of Madrid. The first Masonic lodge was founded in France in 1721. Louis XV was crowned at the age of 12 on October 25, 1722. On February 15, 1723, he was declared of age.
