Commentary
Refrappe certaine avec poinçon corne argent. Ce type de refrappe a été fait pour collectionneurs et pour pallier à la difficulté de trouver certains jetons, rarissimes voire inconnus en frappe originale. Il est intéressant de constater que les légendes des deux faces se répondent.
Certain re-strike with silver horn hallmark. This type of re-strike was done for collectors and to overcome the difficulty of finding certain tokens, extremely rare or even unknown in their original strike. It is interesting to note that the legends on both sides correspond to each other.

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.
