Commentary

Nous doutons que ce jeton soit frappé pour Rouen. Il aurait plutôt été frappé pour l'une des orangeries des châteaux royaux des environs de Paris. A Strasbourg, on l'attribuait à l'Orangerie de la Robertsau. D'autres auteurs l'attribuent au Parc de Sceaux. L'orange est appelée "Pomme d'or".
