Commentary
Louis III (v. 863/865 - † 882), fils de Louis II dit le Bègue et d'Ansgarde de Bourgogne, roi des Francs de 879 à 882.
Louis II le désigne comme seul successeur et le place sous la garde de Bernard d'Auvergne, associé à l'Hugues l’Abbé et à Boson.
En septembre 879, grâce au soutien des grands de Francie occidentale dont Hugues l’Abbé, Boson V de Provence, Théodoric de Vergy et Bernard Plantevelue, le couronnement et le sacre de Louis III et de son frère Carloman sont célébrés en hâte dans l’église abbatiale Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul de Ferrières près de Montargis, par Anségise, l’archevêque de Sens.
En mars 880 à Amiens, l'héritage paternel est partagé : Louis, obtenant la Francie de l'Ouest et la Neustrie, règne conjointement avec son frère Carloman II. Ce dernier reçoit la Bourgogne de l’Ouest, l’Aquitaine, et la Septimanie (Cévennes, Corbières, Nord des Pyrénées avec les villes de Narbonne, Carcassonne, Béziers et Nîmes). Avec son frère Carloman II, il réussit à exclure Hugues, fils de Lothaire II, de la succession au royaume.

Louis III (c. 863/865 - † 882), son of Louis II, known as the Stammerer, and Ansgard of Burgundy, King of the Franks from 879 to 882. Louis II designated him as his sole successor and placed him under the care of Bernard of Auvergne, in association with Hugh the Abbot and Boson. In September 879, thanks to the support of the grandees of West Francia, including Hugh the Abbot, Boson V of Provence, Theodoric of Vergy, and Bernard Plantevelue, the coronation and consecration of Louis III and his brother Carloman were hastily celebrated in the abbey church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul de Ferrières near Montargis by Anségise, the Archbishop of Sens. In March 880, in Amiens, the paternal inheritance was divided: Louis, obtaining West Francia and Neustria, reigned jointly with his brother Carloman II. The latter received Western Burgundy, Aquitaine, and Septimania (Cévennes, Corbières, North of the Pyrenees with the cities of Narbonne, Carcassonne, Béziers and Nîmes). With his brother Carloman II, he succeeded in excluding Hugh, son of Lothair II, from the succession to the kingdom.

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.
