Commentary


Buste rare.
La symbolique de l’eau qui irrigue et fertilise est très fréquente sur les jetons du Trésor royal. L’eau qui s’écoule est censée symboliser le rôle même de l’administration et l’idée est la même que celle fréquemment employée des rayons qui émanent du soleil. Le Pactole est un fleuve d’Asie Mineure dont le cours charriat des paillettes d’or natif ; c’est dans cette région que furent frappées les premières monnaies et que naquit la légende de la Toison d’or. En effet, pour récolter le métal, on disposait des peaux de mouton dans le lit de la rivière, toison vers le haut. Les paillettes s’y arrêtaient et étaient ensuite récupérées par lavage de la “toison”. Titulature revers tirée de HOR Ep 1, 2, 43..
Rare bust. The symbolism of water irrigating and fertilizing is very common on tokens from the Royal Treasury. Flowing water is supposed to symbolize the very role of administration, and the idea is the same as that frequently used of the rays emanating from the sun. The Pactolus is a river in Asia Minor whose course carried flakes of native gold; it was in this region that the first coins were minted and the legend of the Golden Fleece was born. Indeed, to harvest the metal, sheepskins were placed in the riverbed, fleece upwards. The flakes stopped there and were then recovered by washing the “fleece”. Reverse legend taken from HOR Ephesians 1:2:43.

Royal Treasury and Public Treasury are nevertheless confused until Charles V. Under Charles VII, the Treasurers are increased to four and are responsible for establishing the revenue budget. Under François I, the kingdom was divided into sixteen jurisdictions with a Receiver General at their heads and a Treasurer of Savings who centralized everything..
