Commentary
Médaille conservée sous capsule et dorée à l’or fin. Refrappe ultra-moderne des séries de jetons.
Henri IV, né Henri de Bourbon (13 décembre 1553 à Pau - 14 mai 1610 à Paris) fut roi de Navarre (Henri III de Navarre, 1572-1610) puis roi de France (1589-1610), premier souverain français de la branche dite de Bourbon de la dynastie capétienne.
Il était le fils de Jeanne III, de son nom patronymique Jeanne d'Albret, reine de Navarre et d'Antoine de Bourbon, chef de la maison de Bourbon, descendant du roi Louis IX et premier prince de sang. En vertu de la « loi salique » cette filiation fera d'Henri le successeur naturel du roi de France à la mort de François, duc d'Anjou (frère et héritier du roi Henri III), en 1584.
Contemporain d'un siècle ravagé par les guerres de religion, il y fut d'abord lourdement impliqué en tant que prince de sang et chef protestant avant d'accéder au trône de France (Lui-même dut changer plusieurs fois de religion avant son accession au trône). Pour être accepté comme roi, il se convertit au catholicisme, et signa l'Édit de Nantes, traité de paix tolérant dans certaines limites le culte protestant, qui mit fin pendant deux décennies aux guerres de religion. Alors qu'il préparait une guerre contre l'Espagne, il fut assassiné le 14 mai 1610 par un fanatique charentais, François Ravaillac, rue de la Ferronnerie à Paris.

Henry IV, born Henry of Bourbon (December 13, 1553 in Pau - May 14, 1610 in Paris) was King of Navarre (Henry III of Navarre, 1572-1610) then King of France (1589-1610), first French sovereign of the so-called Bourbon branch of the Capetian dynasty.
He was the son of Jeanne III, patronymic name Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre and Antoine de Bourbon, head of the House of Bourbon, descendant of King Louis IX and first prince of the blood. Under the \\\"Salic law\\\" this lineage will make Henry the natural successor to the King of France upon the death of Francis, Duke of Anjou (brother and heir of King Henry III), in 1584.
Contemporary of a century ravaged by religious wars, he was first heavily involved as a prince of the blood and Protestant leader before acceding to the throne of France (He himself had to change religion several times before his accession to the throne). To be accepted as king, he converted to Catholicism and signed the Edict of Nantes, a peace treaty tolerating Protestant worship within certain limits, which put an end to the Wars of Religion for two decades.. While preparing for war against Spain, he was assassinated on May 14, 1610 by a fanatic from Charente, François Ravaillac, on rue de la Ferronnerie in Paris..

Historical background
METALLIC SERIES OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE
This series was engraved by Thomas Bernard and is interrupted, for this author, with the token of Louis XIV. The following tokens are engraved by Nicolas Gatteaux for Louis XV, Duvivier for Louis XVI, Puymaurin and Gayrard for Louis XVII, Puymaurin and Depaulis for Louis XVIII. The series is often attributed to Jean Dassier on the faith of Forrer but he corrects his assertion in his volume VIII and confirms the archives of the Monnaie de Paris which specify that the series was commissioned by Monsieur de Launay. There are different issues, in copper or brass, of varying weights but consistent by series, the reverse dies are sometimes varied. The classification of kings is done according to ancient usage, in three successive races. We note the existence of a very rare token explaining the abbreviations that we have only seen in a brass series. The packaging of this series was in a wooden tube. It is of course very difficult to reconstruct it and it should be noted that the different tokens have very different rarities, having probably been bought piecemeal by the public, favoring the good kings. There is at least one series in silver, possibly apocryphal, completed up to Napoleon III with tokens for all successive regimes, including the Revolution and Napoleon I, see MONNAIES 28, n° 1395. This series is documented in a small book by Philippe Marinèche from whoever can acquire it, contact phmarineche@aol. com.
