Commentary
Ce jeton reprend au revers le type de la médaille pour la naissance de Louis XIV (Divo 2). Roman voit les lettres GD pour Guillaume Dupré au droit, il s’agit des lettres ID pour Jean Dassier qui a restitué ce jeton selon Henri de La Tour. Nous pensons plutôt que ces initiales ID sont celles de Jean Didier qui travailla à l’histoire métallique de Louis XIV entre 1673 et 1676.
This token has the same type on the reverse as the medal for the birth of Louis XIV (Divo 2). Roman sees the letters GD for Guillaume Dupré on the obverse; these are the letters ID for Jean Dassier, who restored this token according to Henri de La Tour. We rather think that these initials ID are those of Jean Didier, who worked on the metallic history of Louis XIV between 1673 and 1676.

Historical background
DAUPHINÉ - LOUIS, DAUPHIN (future LOUIS XIV)
Louis XIV (1638-1715), eldest son of Louis XIII (1601-1643) and Anne of Austria (1601-1666), was born on September 5, 1638 and succeeded his father on May 14, 1643 under the regency of his mother who breaks his father's will and confirms Jules de Mazarin as prime minister. The Cabal des Importants, a conspiracy fomented by the Duchess of Chevreuse and the Duke of Beaufort, fails. On May 19, 1643, the Duke of Enghien won the victory of Rocroi over the Spaniards. The French beat the Imperials at Friborg on August 3, 1644 and on August 2, 1645 at Nordlingen. Mazarin opens his strong library of 40,000 volumes to the public and in 1648 founds the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. The French were defeated by the Spaniards at Armentières on June 4, 1647, then at Landrecies on June 28. At the beginning of 1648, the parliamentary Fronde began by refusing to register the decisions of the regent. Condé crushes the Spaniards at Lens on August 21, 1648. On October 24, the Treaty of Westphalia puts an end to the Thirty Years' War, France retains the Three Bishoprics and acquires Alsace.
