Commentary


Type de revers inédit selon Freek Groenendijk qui rédige un livre sur les jetons à la Venus.
Jetons au type de la Vénus. Cette série de jetons au thème très populaire a largement alimenté la littérature numismatique. Bert van Beek a comparé différentes thèses relatives à la symbolisation du personnage féminin de l’avers (De Beeldenaar, mai / juin 1981, pp 87-88) ; tantôt identifiée comme Vénus, Pandore, la Verité, la Vanité... Il fait son apparition sur plusieurs jetons de la fin du XVe siècle aux Pays-Bas. Ces jetons d’une grande finesse seront imités dans les ateliers de Nuremberg ; certains auteurs attribuent cependant certaines imitations à des ateliers des Pays-Bas, sans réels arguments solides toutefois (voir notamment Mitchiner, p 265-273).

Historical background


ROUYER - X. NUREMBERG JETONS AND TOKENS

Nicolas - Joseph - Jules Rouyer (1820-1898) bequeathed in 1897 his collection of tokens and medals to the Department of Medals of the National Library of France. His desire to keep his collection intact and the desire to leave it complete, accessible and useful to his fellow citizens seem to be the primary reasons for this bequest. The collection began around 1840 and Rouyer gave his first article to the Revue numismatique in 1844. More than half a century later, the legacy includes, among other things, 1860 tokens and coins from the Middle Ages. In 1899, the collection was classified and indexed, then published by Henri de La Tour in two volumes. The first volume, which includes 1860 tokens and mereaux from the Middle Ages, the most interesting according to Rouyer, was republished in 2000 and is still an essential source for these monuments of the past..
