Commentary


Ce jeton est plus rare que ceux de Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette ou Philippe Égalité.
Ce jeton est le cinquième de la suite des six victimes gravée par Daniel et Frédéric Loos. Ce jeton non daté, est classé à la fin de l’année 1794 par Hennin. Cet auteur indique au sujet du revers : “La draperie représentée sur le revers de cette pièce fait allusion à l’obscurité qui couvrait le sort futur des enfans de Louis XVI” avant leurs décès.
Le duc de Normandie, second fils du mariage de Louis XVI et de Marie-Antoinette naquit à Versailles le 27 mars 1785. Il devint dauphin après la mort de son frère aîné décédé le 4 juin 1789. Le 10 août 1792, il fut enfermé au Temple avec ses parents. Après la mort de son père guillotiné le 21 janvier 1793, les royalistes le proclamèrent roi titulaire de France sous le nom de Louis XVII. Le 3 juillet 1793 il fut séparé de sa mère, guillotinée le 16 octobre suivant, puis de sa tante Élisabeth qui fut également guillotinée le 10 mai 1794. Il fut confié à la garde du cordonnier Simon qui, contrairement à la légende, ne lui aurait personnellement fait subir aucun mauvais traitement (cf. Michel Mourre, Dictionnaire de l'histoire, p. 687). Le 5 janvier 1794, Louis XVII fut confié à la garde de quatre commissaires de la Commune. La date précise de son décès est incertaine ; il mourut probablement le 8 juin 1795 et il fut enterré secrètement au cimetière Sainte-Marguerite de Paris.
This token is rarer than those of Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette or Philippe Égalité.
This token is the fifth in the series of six victims engraved by Daniel and Frédéric Loos. This undated token is classified at the end of 1794 by Hennin. This author states about the reverse: “The drapery represented on the reverse of this coin alludes to the darkness which covered the future fate of the children of Louis XVI” before their deaths..
The Duke of Normandy, second son of the marriage of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, was born in Versailles on March 27, 1785.. He became dauphin after the death of his elder brother who died on June 4, 1789. On August 10, 1792, he was imprisoned in the Temple with his parents.. After his father was guillotined on 21 January 1793, the royalists proclaimed him titular king of France under the name of Louis XVII.. On July 3, 1793, he was separated from his mother, who was guillotined the following October 16, and then from his aunt Elisabeth, who was also guillotined on May 10, 1794.. He was entrusted to the care of the shoemaker Simon who, contrary to legend, did not personally subject him to any mistreatment (cf.. Michel Mourre, Dictionary of History, p.. 687). On January 5, 1794, Louis XVII was entrusted to the custody of four commissioners of the Commune. The precise date of his death is uncertain; he probably died on June 8, 1795, and was buried secretly in the Sainte-Marguerite cemetery in Paris.

Historical background


LOUIS XVII

(21/01/1793-8/06/1795)

The Duke of Normandy, second son of the marriage of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, was born in Versailles on March 27, 1785. He became dauphin after the death of his older brother who died on June 4, 1789. After August 10, 1792, he was locked up in the Temple with his parents. When his father was guillotined on January 21, 1793, the royalists proclaimed him titular king of France under the name of Louis XVII.. On July 3, 1793, he was separated from his mother, guillotined on October 16, then from his aunt Elisabeth, also guillotined on May 10, 1794.. He was entrusted to the care of the shoemaker Simon who, contrary to legend, would not have subjected him to any ill treatment.. On January 5, 1794, Louis XVII was entrusted to the custody of four commissioners of the Commune. The precise date of his death is uncertain; he probably died on June 8, 1795 and was secretly buried in the Sainte-Marguerite cemetery in Paris. His sister, Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, 19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851, escaped death and after years of martyrdom was exchanged with the Austrians for Nicolas Marie Quinette Baron de Rochemont, Minister of the Interior, member of the Five Hundred, investigator into the treason of Dumouriez, captured on this occasion.
