Commentary
Ce jeton de fiancailles ne fut pas suivi de jetons de mariage car celui-ci, contrarié par des considérations politiques et humaines, ne se fit pas.
This engagement token was not followed by marriage tokens because the latter, thwarted by political and human considerations, did not take place.

Historical background
LOUIS XV and MARIANA-VICTORIA INFANTA OF SPAIN
The regent had decided to betroth his little cousin to Marie Anne Victoire (1718-1781), the daughter of Philip V of Spain (1683-1746) and his second wife Elisabeth Farnese (1692-1766). The young infanta was eight years younger than the King. The children were in fact betrothed in 1723. After the death of the regent, the engagement was broken. Marie-Anne will marry in 1732 Joseph de Bragance (1714-1777), future Joseph I, king of Portugal (1750-1777). As for Louis XV, he married Marie Leszczynska (1703-1768), daughter of Stanislas I, deposed king of Poland.
