Commentary
Feuardent classe ce jeton dans le Hainaut français du fait du sujet mais la place plus logique de cette émission serait dans la série de l’ordinaire des Guerres. La pluie d'or tombant sur Dunkerque symbolise les cinq millions de livres que la France versa à Charles II d'Angleterre pour reprendre possession de la ville. Louis XIV y fit son entrée le 2 décembre 1662.

The rain of gold falling on Dunkirk symbolizes the five million pounds that France paid to Charles II of England to retake possession of the city. Louis XIV entered the city on December 2, 1662.
