Commentary


Ce jeton n’est pas référencé dans l’étude d’Alain Weil sur les jetons bimétalliques mais se trouve référencé comme tel dans le livre de Daniel Laurençot avec la mention R3.
On notera que ce jeton partage son revers avec un jeton de la série de Bourgogne, manquant à Feuardent, voir fjt_058905 , et dont le revers est interprété comme une satire du gouverneur présenté comme Mercure, le duc de Mayenne, entraînant la province figurée par un personnage portant une bourse .
