Commentary

Au XVIe siècle, deux sortes de secrétaires du roi sont à distinguer : ceux du grand collège, servant à la chancellerie de France, dont le titre officiel est "secrétaires du Roi, maison, couronne de France et des finances", et ceux du petit collège en fonction dans les chancelleries secondaires nées du démembrement de la grande chancellerie. C'est au premier corps qu'appartient ce jeton frappé sous Henri III.
In the 16th century, two types of secretaries to the king were distinguished: those of the grand college, serving in the chancellery of France, whose official title was \\\"secretaries to the King, household, crown of France and finances\\\", and those of the petit college serving in the secondary chancelleries born from the dismemberment of the grand chancellery. This token, struck under Henry III, belongs to the first body.
