Commentary
C’est bien entendu le jeton classique de la Monnaie de Paris avec le balancier monétaire qui a servi pour fabriquer ce jeton mais pour le revers il faut noter la disposition en cercle avec le titre générique à l’extérieur et les informations spécifiques à l’intérieur. C’est une disposition qui permet à partir d’un seul coin de frapper plusieurs variétés de jetons en changeant le centre et cela nous fait penser que ce jeton aura servi de jeton d’identification pour les membres de la commission et donc que chacun est unique.
On peut comprendre que la Monnaie ait mis les petits coins dans les grands pour les membres de la Commission chargée de contrôler son efficacité.
Nous connaissons un jeton où le centre du revers est rempli, voir fjt_272621 et notre jeton est la seule épreuve que nous connaissions .
It is of course the classic token of the Monnaie de Paris with the monetary balance that was used to make this token but for the reverse it is necessary to note the circular arrangement with the generic title on the outside and the specific information on the inside. It is an arrangement that allows from a single die to strike several varieties of tokens by changing the center and this makes us think that this token will have served as an identification token for the members of the commission and therefore that each one is unique. We can understand that the Mint put the small coins in the large ones for the members of the Commission responsible for controlling its effectiveness. We know of a token where the center of the reverse is filled, see fjt_272621 and our token is the only proof that we know of

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.
