Commentary
Exemplaire en frappe médaille et la tranche lisse. Ce revers est typique du XIXe siècle. En l’absence de poinçon, nous pouvons penser que cette fête a été célébrée et des jetons distribués au moins jusqu’en 1830. Mézidon-Canon (canton du même nom) et Vieux Fumé (canton de Bretteville-sur-Laize) sont situés dans le Calvados. Cette série de jetons de rosières compte 18 numéros selon Feuardent qui s’est appuyé sur un article de M. de La Sicotière, Les rosières en Basse-Normandie. Les couronnes décernées concernent les “bonne fille”, “bonne mère”, “bon vieillard” et “bon chef de famille”. Dans l'esprit de la célébration des vertus, une vingtaine furent élus de 1775 à 1785. Cette fête est instituée en février 1775 par Jean-Baptiste Elie de Beaumont (1732 à Carentan-1786 à Paris), jurisconsulte et avocat, défenseur ardent des protestants et adversaire de l’intolérance religieuse, auteur de mémoires judiciaires (notamment sur l'affaire Calas) qui lui confèrent une réputation européenne et la reconnaissance de Voltaire et de son épouse Anne-Louise Morin-Dumesnil. Jean-Baptiste Elie de Beaumont est par ailleurs membre de la loge des Neuf Sœurs et le père de Jean-Baptiste Armand Elie Louis Léonce de Beaumont (1798-1874), une des grandes figures scientifiques de la géologie.
Specimen in medal strike and smooth edge. This reverse side is typical of the 19th century.. In the absence of a hallmark, we can assume that this festival was celebrated and tokens distributed at least until 1830.. Mézidon-Canon (canton of the same name) and Vieux Fumé (canton of Bretteville-sur-Laize) are located in Calvados. This series of rose queen tokens comprises 18 numbers, according to Feuardent, who relied on an article by M.. de La Sicotière, The rose queens of Lower Normandy. The crowns awarded were for “good daughter”, “good mother”, “good old man” and “good head of family”.. In the spirit of celebrating virtues, about twenty were elected between 1775 and 1785.. This festival was instituted in February 1775 by Jean-Baptiste Elie de Beaumont (1732 in Carentan-1786 in Paris), jurist and lawyer, ardent defender of Protestants and opponent of religious intolerance, author of legal memoirs (notably on the Calas affair) which earned him a European reputation and the recognition of Voltaire and his wife Anne-Louise Morin-Dumesnil. Jean-Baptiste Elie de Beaumont was also a member of the Lodge of the Nine Sisters and the father of Jean-Baptiste Armand Elie Louis Léonce de Beaumont (1798-1874), one of the great scientific figures of geology.

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.
