Commentary
Le revers est insculpé, fort joliment d’ailleurs, de l’inscription “E J W to E C C signé WC”, certainement comme médaille de mariage de deux britanniques ou moins probablement de deux américains. A noter que le coin de revers est bien particulier et n’est pas celui que l’on trouve sur les frappes en cuivre jaune que nous avons pu voir.
Charles de Bourbon-Vendôme fut successivement évêque de Toul, de Verdun, puis cardinal en 1572 (cardinal de Vaudémont). Il mourut en 1587.
The reverse is inscribed, very nicely indeed, with the inscription “EJW to ECC signed WC”, certainly as a marriage medal of two British or less probably of two Americans. Note that the reverse die is very particular and is not the one found on the yellow copper strikes that we have been able to see. Charles de Bourbon-Vendôme was successively bishop of Toul, of Verdun, then cardinal in 1572 (cardinal of Vaudémont). He died in 1587

Historical background
NORMANDY (GENTRY AND TOWNS OF...)
Normandy covers on the one hand the region of Rouen or upper Normandy around the Seine valley and on the other hand lower Normandy around Caen with the Cotentin and the Pays d'Auge. Inhabited since the Paleolithic era, the Seine valley is an important way of trade and habitation, and is then occupied by various Celtic peoples such as the Calètes, the Véliocasses or the Aulerques Éburovices. Roman, it then passes into the kingdom of Syagrius before being occupied by the Franks from 486. Ravaged by the incursions of the Normans, the region was recognized by Charles the Simple.. The Dukes of Normandy were then the allies of the first Capetians and in the 11th century were at the head of one of the richest and best administratively organized states in Europe, which is also shown by the expansion towards southern Italy and england. In the French monarchy, Normandy keeps its institutions, for example with the maintenance of the Exchequer, or its customary law codified in the "Grand Coutumier". Deeply affected during the Wars of Religion, Normandy saw its last vestiges of independence disappear in the 17th century following the revolts of the "Barefoot". The textile industry was favored under Colbert which gave a new economic boost to Normandy.
