Commentary


Le revers illustre la conquête de la Franche Comté ; devant le coq gaulois, le lion espagnol prend la fuite. On notera la flagornerie de l’auteur de la devise qui reprend la formule de César de retour de Gaule pour l’appliquer à Louis XIV.
Ce jeton se retrouve à l’Ordinaire des Guerres, voir Feuardent 444 et suivants.
Ce buste est très rare.
