Commentary


Buste rare. Ce jeton fut frappé à l’occasion de la convalescence du roi. Jérôme Jambu a montré que ce jeton fait allusion à la santé du roi, ayant souffert d’une fistule anale durant l’année 1686. http://www.academia.edu/23000670/Deux_jetons_in%C3%A9dits_relatifs_%C3%A0_la_Flandre_fran%C3%A7aise_sous_Louis_XIV._Ou_l_art_de_recycler_en_numismatique_pour_mettre_en_sc%C3%A8ne_le_Grand_Roi_BSFN_octobre_2015.

Historical background


LILLE

The city of Lille has been mentioned in texts since the 11th century. Fortified, it was taken by Philippe Auguste in 1214, by Philippe le Bel in 1297, then it passed to the Dukes of Burgundy after the marriage of Marguerite, daughter of Louis de Male with Philippe le Hardi. Philippe le Bon made it one of his favorite residences and founded the Order of the Golden Fleece there. It then belonged to the Habsburgs and was part of the Spanish Netherlands. Louis XIV seized it during the War of Devolution in 1667 and had it fortified by Vauban. Taken by Prince Eugene in 1708, it was returned to France during the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.
