Commentary
Très rare jeton uniquement répertorié par Pradel. Corre n’indique que 1587 en cuivre et confond les deux Charles, archevêques de Rouen. Le premier est aussi connu comme le roi Charles X des ligueurs (1523-1590). Le second, son neveu, fut évêque de Saintes entre 1562 et 1594.

Historical background
ROUEN - CLERGY AND CHURCHES
Under the Ancien Régime, Rouen was one of the great cities of the kingdom, considered, in the 16th century, as the second city in France after Paris, before gradually declining until the beginning of the 19th century, when it had the reputation of to be dirty, and poorly constructed. The administrative and religious functions of the city are at the origin of the stable base of its population and its influence. The Catholic reform of the 17th century encouraged the multiplication of convents. It is estimated that nearly two thousand monks supported Rouen households until the Revolution. Biblio.: MOLLAT M. (dir.), "History of Rouen", Toulouse, 1979.
