Commentary
La légende de revers se trouve sur la médaille de Mauger frappée pour l’Établissement de l’Académie des Inscriptions. On reste perplexe pour le droit de ce jeton qui devrait dater du début des années 1960 : l’avers est identique à celui des Bains de Caroline. Ces précurseurs des bains de mer popularisés ultérieurement sous Napoléon III.
The reverse legend is found on the Mauger medal struck for the Establishment of the Academy of Inscriptions. The right of this token, which should date from the early 1960s, remains unclear: the obverse is identical to that of the Bains de Caroline. These precursors of sea bathing later popularized under Napoleon III

Historical background
MONNAIE DE PARIS
(16th-18th centuries)
The Monnaie de Paris was located in the 17th century on the site of the current Samaritaine. The issuing bank was formed from the agglomeration of small plots and medieval houses which gave this establishment a heterogeneous appearance. Not far from its location, behind the Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois church, is still the rue de l'Arbre sec, recalling that a gallows had been established there to punish in particular some counterfeiters. The few plans from the 18th century show us a succession of small rooms, of different sizes and located on different levels, some of them vacant because they had suffered a fire. Renovation projects were proposed around 1750 but were not immediately implemented. After an exchange contract with land located around the former Hôtel de Conti, the Monnaie de Paris will be transferred to its current location. The old coin will be razed during the second half of the 18th century.
