Commentary
Philippe II dit Philippe Auguste, né le 21 août 1165 à Gonesse, mort à Mantes le 14 juillet 1223, est le septième roi de la dynastie dite des Capétiens directs. Il est le fils héritier de Louis VII dit le Jeune et d'Adèle de Champagne.
Le surnom d'« Auguste » lui a été donné par le moine Rigord après que Philippe II a ajouté au domaine royal en juillet 1185 (Traité de Boves) les seigneuries d’Artois, du Valois, d’Amiens et une bonne partie du Vermandois. Ce terme n'est pas une référence à l'empereur romain, mais signifie qu'il a accru considérablement le domaine.
Chapelain et biographe de Philippe II, Guillaume le Breton le nomme « Philippe le Magnanime » dans sa chronique La Philippide rédigée entre 1214 et 1224. Cette chronique est une continuation de celle de Rigord que Philippe II lui avait demandé d'expurger, la jugeant moins laudatrice qu'il le souhaitait.
Philippe Auguste reste l'un des monarques les plus admirés et étudiés de la France médiévale, en raison non seulement de la longueur de son règne, mais aussi de ses importantes victoires militaires et des progrès essentiels accomplis pour affermir le pouvoir royal et mettre fin à l'époque féodale.

Philip II, known as Philip Augustus, born on August 21, 1165 in Gonesse and died in Mantes on July 14, 1223, is the seventh king of the dynasty known as the direct Capetians. He is the son and heir of Louis VII, known as the Younger, and Adèle of Champagne..
The nickname \\\"Augustus\\\" was given to him by the monk Rigord after Philip II added to the royal domain in July 1185 (Treaty of Boves) the lordships of Artois, Valois, Amiens and a good part of Vermandois.. This term is not a reference to the Roman emperor, but means that he greatly increased the domain.
Chaplain and biographer of Philip II, William the Breton calls him “Philip the Magnanimous” in his chronicle La Philippide written between 1214 and 1224. This chronicle is a continuation of that of Rigord which Philip II had asked him to expurgate, judging it less laudatory than he wished..
Philip Augustus remains one of the most admired and studied monarchs of medieval France, due not only to the length of his reign, but also to his significant military victories and the essential progress made in strengthening royal power and ending the feudal era..

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.
