Commentary
On ne peut douter, au buste de Louis XVI, que ce jeton soit une frappe postérieure. Pourtant, il semble bien d’époque et pourrait avoir été frappé pour l’Ordinaire, en l’absence de la création d’un coin de revers sous Louis XVI.
There is no doubt, from the bust of Louis XVI, that this token is a later strike. However, it seems very contemporary and could have been struck for the Ordinary, in the absence of the creation of a reverse die under Louis XVI.
