Commentary
Dimensions : 91,5*48*13,5 mm
Cet exemplaire, de forme complexe (rectangle et ovale), s’ouvre et permet de placer une monnaie de 21 mm et une monnaie de 17 mm. Au-dessus se trouve l’emplacement du poudrier (actuellement vide). Dans le couvercle se trouvait un miroir (aujourd’hui disparu et dont seul l’attache subsiste)
L’emplacement pour mettre la pièce est guilloché prenant l’aspect de mouchetures. L’intérieur du couvercle reprend les motifs extérieurs en négatif. Probablement de fabrication anglaise.
Dimensions: 91.5 x 48 x 13.5 mm. This example, with its complex shape (rectangle and oval), opens to hold a 21 mm coin and a 17 mm coin. Above is the space for a powder compact (currently empty). The lid once contained a mirror (now missing, only the attachment remains). The coin slot is guilloché, resembling speckles. The inside of the lid replicates the exterior motifs in negative. Probably of English manufacture.

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.
