Commentary


La compagnie des Salines de l’Est est la privatisation des salines royales d’Arc et Senan. La rentabilité des Salines s’effondrera avec l’arrivée du chemin de fer et donc du sel marin transporté à un prix de plus en plus bas.
La société n’a pas laissé localement un très bon souvenir s’étant opposée violemment (dynamitage de certains bâtiments) au classement de l’ensemble architectural comme monument historique protégé en 1926. Aujourd’hui le site fait partie du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco.

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.
