Commentary
Nous doutons que ce jeton soit frappé pour Rouen. Il aurait plutôt été frappé pour l'une des orangeries des châteaux royaux des environs de Paris. A Strasbourg, on l'attribuait à l'Orangerie de la Robertsau. D'autres auteurs l'attribuent au Parc de Sceaux. L'orange est appelée "Pomme d'or".
Historical background
AGRICULTURAL, HORTICULTURAL, FISHING AND HUNTING SOCIETIES
The Agricultural Societies were free associations which set themselves the task of discussing agricultural theories, perfecting methods, etc., and on the establishment of which the law imposed no other condition than that of obtaining the approval of their statutes by the prefectural authority. Those which deal more especially with practical applications are called agricultural councils..
