Commentary


Ce jeton est une reprise de la médaille émise à l’occasion du mariage de Jérôme Napoléon et de Catherine de Würtemberg, célébré le 22 Août 1807(BRAMSEN n°662). Ce jeton reprend le même motif d’avers pour un usage privé, on retrouve au revers le champs libre pour graver le nom des époux. Cet exemplaire n’est pas attribué et la tranche non inscrite.

Historical background


LOVE AND MARRIAGE

It was customary in the past to give a treizain during the wedding mass. This treizain was blessed and signified entry into a community of property for the married couple. The treizain, which later became a medal or wedding token, was so called in honor of Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles. This practice continued until the first half of the 20th century. The reference work on the subject is the work of Jules Florange, Love and marriage in numismatics, Moulins, 1936 now replaced by that of Henri Térisse, La Numismatique du Mariage, Argenton-sur-Creuse 2008.
