Commentary
Philippe-Vincent Roger est écuyer, seigneur du Plessis-Glain, du Plessis-Tristan, de la Jarrie, de la Bazouinière, la Mouchetière et autres lieux. Il est conseiller du roi et son lieutenant général, commissaire enquêteur, examinateur et garde au siège de l’Amirauté de Nantes. Il est maire de 1770 à 1772 et porte d’azur à trois coquilles d’argent deux et un.
La frappe en médaille est étrange mais il n’y a aucune raison de suspecter que le jeton ne soit pas d’époque.
Philippe-Vincent Roger is a squire, lord of Plessis-Glain, Plessis-Tristan, Jarrie, Bazouinière, Mouchetière and other places. He is a councilor to the king and his lieutenant general, investigating commissioner, examiner and guard at the headquarters of the Admiralty of Nantes. He was mayor from 1770 to 1772 and wears azure with three silver shells two and one. The medal strike is strange but there is no reason to suspect that the token is not from the period

Historical background
NANTES (ALDERMANS AND MAYORS OF...)
The Town Hall of Nantes was installed in 1565 after having been created by François II in 1560, with the right to elect its aldermen. The first strikes of tokens are attested by the texts from 1569. The first tokens do not bear the name of the mayor, they are tokens of aldermen. A second period began in 1631 with the appearance of the mayor's name on the tokens. The coat of arms appeared in 1637. There are silver and copper tokens for this period. In the 18th century, on the other hand, most tokens were made of silver. In 1787, the mayor received 140 silver tokens and each alderman received 70, making a total of 700 annual tokens. Several studies have been made on this series: Fornier, in his study on the tokens of Brittany, listed 100 different tokens. Perthuis and de la Nicollière count 103 in the Golden Book of the Nantes City Hall, Soullard, Tokens of the Mayors of Nantes, finds a total of 135.
