Commentary
Louis VII de France, dit Louis le Jeune, ou Louis le Pieux, né en 1120, mort en 1180 à Paris, roi des Francs de 1137 à 1180. Il est le fils de Louis VI, dit Louis le Gros, roi des Francs, et d’Adèle de Savoie.
Sixième souverain de la dynastie des Capétiens directs. Il épouse successivement Aliénor d'Aquitaine, Constance de Castille, et Adèle de Champagne. Son fils Philippe Auguste lui succèdera.
Il est sacré roi et couronné, à Reims, dès le 25 octobre 1131, par le pape Innocent II, après la mort accidentelle de son frère aîné Philippe de France (1116-1131) (à ne pas confondre avec Philippe, son frère cadet du même nom), suite à une chute de cheval le 13 octobre 1131.
Après la mort de son père Louis VI le Gros survenue suite à un excès de bonne chère il est à nouveau couronné à Bourges, le 25 décembre 1137.
Avant de mourir, son père avait organisé son mariage avec Aliénor d'Aquitaine (1122-1204), fille de Guillaume X de Poitiers, duc d’Aquitaine et d’Aénor de Châtellerault. Le mariage eut lieu à Bordeaux, le 25 juillet 1137. Il est lui-même couronné duc d'Aquitaine, à Poitiers le 8 août 1137. Ce mariage fabuleux permit au domaine royal de presque tripler, car la jeune mariée apporte dans sa dot la Guyenne, la Gascogne, le Poitou, le Limousin, l’Angoumois, la Saintonge et le Périgord, c’est-à-dire une partie du Midi et de l’Ouest de la France, l’équivalent de 19 départements actuels. Le caractère du roi, dévot, ascétique (il aurait voulu être moine), naïf et maladroit, mou dans ses décisions, s’accorde mal avec le caractère fort et sensuel d’Aliénor, cependant les dix premières années semblent se passer sans réelle mésentente.

Louis VII of France, known as Louis the Young, or Louis the Pious, born in 1120, died in 1180 in Paris, king of the Franks from 1137 to 1180. He is the son of Louis VI, known as Louis the Fat, King of the Franks, and Adele of Savoy..
Sixth ruler of the direct Capetian dynasty. He successively married Eleanor of Aquitaine, Constance of Castile, and Adele of Champagne.. His son Philip Augustus will succeed him.
He was crowned king and was crowned in Reims on 25 October 1131 by Pope Innocent II, after the accidental death of his elder brother Philip of France (1116-1131) (not to be confused with Philip, his younger brother of the same name), following a fall from a horse on 13 October 1131..
After the death of his father Louis VI the Fat, which occurred following an excess of good food, he was crowned again in Bourges on December 25, 1137..
Before his death, his father had arranged his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204), daughter of William X of Poitiers, Duke of Aquitaine and Aenor of Châtellerault.. The marriage took place in Bordeaux on July 25, 1137.. He himself was crowned Duke of Aquitaine in Poitiers on August 8, 1137.. This fabulous marriage allowed the royal domain to almost triple, because the young bride brought in her dowry Guyenne, Gascony, Poitou, Limousin, Angoumois, Saintonge and Périgord, that is to say a part of the South and West of France, the equivalent of 19 current departments.. The character of the king, devout, ascetic (he would have liked to be a monk), naive and clumsy, soft in his decisions, does not fit well with the strong and sensual character of Eleanor, however the first ten years seem to pass without any real disagreement..

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.
