Commentary


Dimensions de la boîte : 55,5*30 mm (74 mm avec l’anneau). L’intérieur est doré et permet de ranger des 10 et 20 francs or, l’emplacement est doré et guilloché.
L’exemplaire n’est pas signé mais le style de l’objet nous laisse à penser que ce porte louis fait partie de la série végétale élaborée par Jean-Baptiste Émile Dropsy.
Jean-Baptiste Émile Dropsy (1848-1923) est un graveur. Il entama son apprentissage de graveur sur métaux à Paris quai de Jemmapes auprès de la société Lemoine. Ce porte-louis décoré et gravé par Jean Baptiste Émile Dropsy permettait de ranger facilement plusieurs napoléons de 10 francs OR et de 20 francs OR à l’aide d’un système à ressorts.
Box dimensions: 55.5*30 mm (74 mm with the ring). The interior is gilded and can hold 10 and 20 gold francs, the slot is gilded and guilloché. The copy is not signed but the style of the object leads us to believe that this louis holder is part of the plant series developed by Jean-Baptiste Émile Dropsy. Jean-Baptiste Émile Dropsy (1848-1923) was an engraver. He began his apprenticeship as a metal engraver in Paris on the Quai de Jemmapes with the Lemoine company. This louis holder decorated and engraved by Jean Baptiste Émile Dropsy made it possible to easily hold several 10 gold franc and 20 gold franc napoleons using a spring system

Historical background


COIN PURSE, WALLET

n/a

From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, deniers, écus, and then the first francs and centimes, were carried in purses, alms pouches, or small leather change purses, often attached to the belt. When, in the second half of the 19th century, the Second Empire put into circulation more than one hundred million 20-franc gold coins minted with the image of Louis Napoleon III, it was necessary to create a safe and practical system for storing and individually transporting these precious coins. The craftsmen imagined the manufacture of a sort of coin box, which took the name of coin box, then gold holder, and quickly transformed into Louis holder, the first name of the Emperor, but also a reminder of the first gold Louis created at the end of the reign of Louis XIII in 1641.
