Commentary
L’inspiration de ce jeton est manifestement latine avec l’idée du temple de Janus dont les portes fermées signifiaient la paix dans l’Empire. Nous jugeons que ce jeton est produit à Nuremberg mais Feuardent ne le classe pas en Fabrique Allemande.
The inspiration for this token is clearly Latin, with the idea of the temple of Janus whose closed doors signified peace in the Empire. We believe that this token was produced in Nuremberg, but Feuardent does not classify it as a German factory.

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..
