Commentary
Médaille conservée sous capsule
Hugues Capet (né vers 940, mort au lieu-dit « Les Juifs », près de Prasville (Eure-et-Loir) le 24 octobre 996), duc des Francs (960-987), puis roi des Francs (987-996), fut le premier souverain de la dynastie capétienne. Fils de Hugues le Grand et de son épouse Hedwige de Saxe, il est l'héritier des puissants Robertiens, la lignée qui est en compétition pour le pouvoir avec la dynastie carolingienne et les grandes familles aristocratiques de Francie aux IXe et Xe siècles.
La fin du Xe siècle connaît le début d'une révolution économique et sociale qui allait trouver son apogée vers 1100 Les progrès agricoles, le début des défrichements et l'augmentation des capacités d'échanges entraînée par l'introduction du denier d'argent par les premiers Carolingiens, entraînent une dynamique économique encore timide mais réelle. Dans le même temps, la fin des invasions et la continuité des guerres personnelles entraînent la construction des premiers châteaux privés où peuvent trouver refuge les paysans. En parallèle, la nouvelle élite guerrière, les chevaliers, entre en concurrence avec l'ancienne aristocratie foncière carolingienne. Pour canaliser ces nouveaux venus et pour assurer la protection de leurs biens, l'aristocratie et l'Église soutiennent et exploitent le mouvement de la paix de Dieu. C'est dans ce contexte qu'Hugues Capet peut instaurer la dynastie capétienne.

Medal preserved under capsule Hugues Capet (born around 940, died at the place called “Les Juifs”, near Prasville (Eure-et-Loir) on October 24, 996), Duke of the Franks (960-987), then King of the Franks (987-996), was the first sovereign of the Capetian dynasty. Son of Hugh the Great and his wife Hedwig of Saxony, he is the heir to the powerful Robertians, the line that competed for power with the Carolingian dynasty and the great aristocratic families of Francia in the 9th and 10th centuries..
The end of the 10th century saw the beginning of an economic and social revolution which would reach its peak around 1100. Agricultural progress, the beginning of land clearing and the increase in trading capacity brought about by the introduction of the silver denarius by the first Carolingians, led to an economic dynamic which was still timid but real.. At the same time, the end of invasions and the continuation of personal wars led to the construction of the first private castles where peasants could find refuge.. At the same time, the new warrior elite, the knights, entered into competition with the old Carolingian landed aristocracy.. To channel these newcomers and to ensure the protection of their property, the aristocracy and the Church supported and exploited the Peace of God movement.. It is in this context that Hugh Capet can establish the Capetian dynasty.

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.
