Commentary
En avril 1676, le roi arriva en Flandre. La ville de Condé fut prise le 26 avril, Bouchain assiété et prise le 12 mai. Aire tomba le 31 juillet. La ville de Maastricht, qui fut assiégée par le prince d’Orange, résista pendant 51 jours et les Hollandais furent forcés de se retirer. Il existe une médaille de Mauger qui reprend le même type.

Historical background
VALENCIENNES - CONDÉ SUR L'ESCAUT
In 1676, Louis XIV seized Condé (the seat was directed by Vauban) which became definitively French in 1678 by the Treaty of Nijmegen. Vauban then du Buat improved the fortifications of the old stronghold, which did not prevent the Austrian troops of François de Saxe-Cobourg from occupying the town after a blockade of 92 days (July 10, 1793). Cleared of the Austrians on September 3, 1794, it fell into the hands of the “Coalisés” during the fall of Napoleon (1815): they did not leave it until three years later, in 1818.
