Commentary


Nous classons cet exemplaire sous le millésime 1717 mais la fabrication pourrait être postérieure à la visite. On retrouve un exemplaire en argent au musée Carnavalet.

D’après l’ouvrage de F. Page-Divo, Pierre le Grand arriva à Paris le 7 mai 1717 pour un séjour de deux mois. Il logea à l’hôtel de Lesdiguières de la rue de la Ceriseraie (4e arrondissement). Le 11 mai, le tsar alla visiter Louis XV, alors âgé de 7 ans. Au cours de son séjour, il visita la Monnaie, où le directeur fit frapper devant lui une grande médaille d’or. Le but de cette visite fut d’abord diplomatique, le tsar voulait une alliance, il n’y eu qu’un traité de commerce signé à Amsterdam un peu plus tard.
We classify this example as 1717, but the manufacture could be later than the visit. A silver example can be found at the Carnavalet Museum. http://parismuseescollections.paris.fr/fr/musee-carnavalet/oeuvres/visite-de-pierre-le-grand-1717#infos-principales According to the work of F. Page-Divo, Peter the Great arrived in Paris on May 7, 1717, for a two-month stay. He stayed at the Hôtel de Lesdiguières on Rue de la Ceriseraie (4th arrondissement). On May 11, the Tsar went to visit Louis XV, then aged 7. During his stay, he visited the Mint, where the director had a large gold medal struck in front of him. The purpose of this visit was initially diplomatic; the Tsar wanted an alliance; there was only a trade treaty signed in Amsterdam a little later.

Historical background


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. The regent is replaced by the Duke of Bourbon who becomes prime minister. Philippe d'Orléans died on December 2.
