Commentary
Il faut noter que le poids, pour cet exemplaire, n’est plus une caractéristique valide de l’appartenance à la série initiale ou à la série de Louis XVIII. Nous considérons qu’il appartient à la série initiale par la texture de la frappe, moins violente et le diamètre très légèrement plus grand.
Louis II dit le Bègue né le 1er novembre 846, mort le 11 avril 879 à Compiègne. Roi des Francs (877-879), fils de Charles II dit le Chauve et Ermentrude d'Orléans.
Le 10 février 856 à Louviers, son père lui arrange des fiançailles avec une fille d'Erispoë, roi de Bretagne auquel il concède alors le duché du Mans. Déplaisant énormément aux vassaux bretons, cet arrangement est peut-être une des raisons du mécontentement et du complot qui entraînent l'assassinat du roi breton l'année suivante.
Marié en premières noces en 862 à Ansgarde de Bourgogne, elle lui donne deux fils, Louis III et Carloman II et trois filles, Gisèle, Hildegarde et Ermentrude. Comme ce mariage avait été contracté sans la volonté de son père, ce dernier oblige Louis à répudier Ansgarde. Il épouse en secondes noces - contre l'avis des autorités ecclésiastiques - Adélaïde de Paris qui lui donne un fils, Charles, qui naît après sa mort.
Comme l'indique son surnom, Louis II bégaie, ce qui l'empêche de s'exprimer en public et nuit à son autorité.

It should be noted that the weight, for this example, is no longer a valid characteristic of belonging to the initial series or to the Louis XVIII series.. We consider that it belongs to the initial series by the texture of the strike, less violent and the diameter very slightly larger.
Louis II, known as the Stammerer, born on November 1, 846, died on April 11, 879 in Compiègne. King of the Franks (877-879), son of Charles II, known as the Bald, and Ermentrude of Orléans.
On February 10, 856, in Louviers, his father arranged for him to be engaged to a daughter of Erispoë, King of Brittany, to whom he then granted the Duchy of Le Mans.. Extremely displeasing to the Breton vassals, this arrangement was perhaps one of the reasons for the discontent and the plot which led to the assassination of the Breton king the following year..
Married in first marriage in 862 to Ansgarde of Burgundy, she gave him two sons, Louis III and Carloman II and three daughters, Gisèle, Hildegarde and Ermentrude. As this marriage had been contracted without the will of his father, the latter forced Louis to repudiate Ansgarde. He married for the second time - against the advice of the ecclesiastical authorities - Adelaide of Paris who gave him a son, Charles, who was born after his death..
As his nickname indicates, Louis II stuttered, which prevented him from speaking in public and undermined his authority..

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.
