Commentary
Charles V de France dit Charles le Sage (21 janvier 1338 - Vincennes, 16 septembre 1380 - Beauté-sur-Marne), est roi de France de 1364 à 1380. Son règne marque la fin de la première partie de la guerre de Cent Ans : il réussit à récupérer la quasi-totalité des terres perdues par ses prédécesseurs, restaure l'autorité de l'État et relève le royaume de ses ruines.
Il est, un temps, proche du mouvement réformateur. En 1357, il se retrouve à la tête d'une monarchie contrôlée, alors que son père Jean le Bon est prisonnier des Anglais. Bien que confronté aux ambitions de Charles de Navarre et aux manœuvres d'Étienne Marcel, il sauve la couronne des Valois alors que le pays sombre dans la guerre civile. Sacré en 1364, il restaure l'autorité royale en la fondant sur l'État de droit et en poursuivant la politique de monnaie forte instaurée par les conseillers de son père. Ce faisant, un parallèle s'établit entre son règne et celui de saint Louis, qui reste la référence du bon gouvernement pour l'époque.

Charles V of France, known as Charles the Wise (January 21, 1338 - Vincennes, September 16, 1380 - Beauté-sur-Marne), was King of France from 1364 to 1380. His reign marked the end of the first part of the Hundred Years' War: he succeeded in recovering almost all of the lands lost by his predecessors, restored the authority of the State, and raised the kingdom from its ruins. He was, for a time, close to the reform movement. In 1357, he found himself at the head of a controlled monarchy, while his father, John the Good, was a prisoner of the English. Although confronted with the ambitions of Charles of Navarre and the maneuvers of Stephen Marcel, he saved the Valois crown as the country descended into civil war. Crowned in 1364, he restored royal authority by basing it on the rule of law and continuing the policy of strong coin established by his father's advisors. In doing so, a parallel was established between his reign and that of Saint Louis, who remained the benchmark for good government at the time.

Historical background
METALLIC SERIES OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE
This series was engraved by Thomas Bernard and is interrupted, for this author, with the token of Louis XIV. The following tokens are engraved by Nicolas Gatteaux for Louis XV, Duvivier for Louis XVI, Puymaurin and Gayrard for Louis XVII, Puymaurin and Depaulis for Louis XVIII. The series is often attributed to Jean Dassier on the faith of Forrer but he corrects his assertion in his volume VIII and confirms the archives of the Monnaie de Paris which specify that the series was commissioned by Monsieur de Launay. There are different issues, in copper or brass, of varying weights but consistent by series, the reverse dies are sometimes varied. The classification of kings is done according to ancient usage, in three successive races. We note the existence of a very rare token explaining the abbreviations that we have only seen in a brass series. The packaging of this series was in a wooden tube. It is of course very difficult to reconstruct it and it should be noted that the different tokens have very different rarities, having probably been bought piecemeal by the public, favoring the good kings. There is at least one series in silver, possibly apocryphal, completed up to Napoleon III with tokens for all successive regimes, including the Revolution and Napoleon I, see MONNAIES 28, n° 1395. This series is documented in a small book by Philippe Marinèche from whoever can acquire it, contact phmarineche@aol. com.
