Commentary


Le rocher s'étant entrouvert pour lui donner asile alors que son père la poursuivait, le glaive à la main, Sainte Barbe a toujours été considérée comme la patronne des carriers et des mineurs exposés à tous les risques de mort subite. Pour cette raison, les compagnies minières n'ont pas manqué de placer son effigie tant sur leurs bons d'économat que sur leurs jetons de présence.

Historical background


MINES AND FORGES

The numismatics of the mines was the subject of a study by Jules Florange in 1904. The latter listed the numismatic material relating to the mines: medals, tokens of attendance, tokens of necessity or fiduciary coins, tokens of the superintendents of the mines. Another remarkable work is the work of the Association of Coin Collectors in 1999.
