Commentary
Feuardent indique que ce jeton a dû être frappé en France et à Nuremberg avant la prise de possession des Pays-Bas par le duc d’Alençon. Nous pensons, comme Mitchiner, qu’il s’agit d’une copie du jeton Feuardent 6502 (voir jetons suivants) qui sont datés de 1587. Les lettres KK au droit et au revers sont probablement la signature de Kilian Koch, maître nurembergeois de cette époque (en activité de 1587 à 1594).
Feuardent indicates that this token must have been minted in France and Nuremberg before the Duke of Alençon took possession of the Netherlands. We believe, like Mitchiner, that it is a copy of Feuardent token 6502 (see following tokens) which are dated 1587. The letters KK on the obverse and reverse are probably the signature of Kilian Koch, a Nuremberg master of this period (active from 1587 to 1594)

Historical background
François, duke of Alençon then of Anjou, Brabant and Count of Flanders
(1554-1584)
François (first named Hercule) is the fourth son of Henri II and Catherine de Médicis. Brother of Henri III, he bore the title of Duke of Alençon and became the leader of the "politicians" favorable to an alliance with the Protestants. By the "peace of Monsieur" of May 6, 1576 he received Anjou, Touraine and Berry. In 1582, his intrigues with William of Orange enabled him to be proclaimed Duke of Brabant and Count of Flanders. On his death in 1584, the Duchy of Alençon was definitively united to the Crown.
