Commentary
Ce type de décalé est non seulement rarissime (c’est le premier que nous proposons) mais pourrait être considéré comme techniquement impossible à moins d’être volontaire. Les techniques de fabrication au balancier imposent un rythme qui rend pratiquement infaisable de placer le flan à côté et surtout de le retirer sans voir le problème. Ne soulevons même pas la question de savoir pourquoi garder pieusement une erreur inutilisable en l’état !
À noter que la refrappe en cuivre que signale Feuardent (n° 1301) n’a aucun rapport avec notre jeton car son buste est très jeune, le nôtre étant celui du Feuardent 1285, avec ALEXA, et la tranche ne est cannelée.
Bref, triple mystère : d’époque ou refrappe ? Comment le désaxé a-t-il été produit et pourquoi ? Pourquoi cette erreur de frappe est-elle arrivée jusqu’à nous (par le truchement de la collection Lathoumétie).
This type of offset is not only extremely rare (it is the first one we are proposing) but could be considered technically impossible unless it is voluntary. The manufacturing techniques with the balance impose a rhythm that makes it practically impossible to place the flan next to it and especially to remove it without seeing the problem. Let's not even raise the question of why piously keep an unusable error in its current state! Note that the copper re-strike reported by Feuardent (no. 1301) has no connection with our token because its bust is very young, ours being that of Feuardent 1285, with ALEXA, and the edge is not fluted. In short, a triple mystery: period or re-strike? How was the misaligned one produced and why? Why did this striking error reach us (via the Lathoumétie collection)
