Commentary


Dans cette série de Louis XVIII, François Ier est représenté à l’antique, avec une couronne de lauriers et non pas avec une couronne comme dans les séries précédentes. Là encore on peut supposer que le coin initial cassa.
François Ier (1494 – 1547), dit le Père et Restaurateur des Lettres, le Roi Chevalier, le Roi Guerrier, le Grand Colas, le Bonhomme Colas ou encore François au Grand Nez, est sacré roi de France le 25 janvier 1515 dans la cathédrale de Reims, et règne jusqu’à sa mort en 1547. Fils de Charles d’Angoulême et de Louise de Savoie, il appartient à la branche de Valois-Angoulême de la dynastie capétienne.
François Ier est considéré comme le monarque emblématique de la période de la Renaissance française[2]. Son règne permet un développement important des arts et des lettres en France. Sur le plan militaire et politique, le règne de François Ier est ponctué de guerres et d’importants faits diplomatiques.
Il a un puissant rival en la personne de Charles Quint et doit compter sur les intérêts diplomatiques du roi Henri VIII d’Angleterre toujours désireux de se positionner en allié de l’un ou l’autre camp. François Ier enregistre succès et défaites mais interdit à son ennemi impérial de concrétiser ses rêves, dont la réalisation toucherait l’intégrité du royaume. L'antagonisme des deux souverains catholiques a de lourdes conséquences pour l’Occident chrétien: il facilite la diffusion de la Réforme naissante et surtout permet à l'Empire ottoman de s'installer aux portes de Vienne en s'emparant de la quasi-totalité du royaume de Hongrie.

In this series of Louis XVIII, François I is represented in the antique style, with a laurel wreath and not with a crown as in the previous series.. Here again we can assume that the initial corner broke.
Francis I (1494 – 1547), known as the Father and Restorer of Letters, the Knight King, the Warrior King, the Great Colas, the Good Man Colas or Francis with the Big Nose, was crowned King of France on January 25, 1515 in the cathedral of Reims, and reigned until his death in 1547.. Son of Charles of Angoulême and Louise of Savoy, he belongs to the Valois-Angoulême branch of the Capetian dynasty.
Francis I is considered the emblematic monarch of the French Renaissance period[2]. His reign allowed for significant development of the arts and literature in France. On the military and political level, the reign of François I was punctuated by wars and important diplomatic events..
He has a powerful rival in the person of Charles V and must count on the diplomatic interests of King Henry VIII of England, always eager to position himself as an ally of one camp or the other.. Francis I recorded successes and defeats but forbade his imperial enemy from realizing his dreams, the realization of which would affect the integrity of the kingdom.. The antagonism between the two Catholic sovereigns had serious consequences for the Christian West: it facilitated the spread of the nascent Reformation and, above all, allowed the Ottoman Empire to establish itself at the gates of Vienna, seizing almost the entire Kingdom of Hungary..

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.
