Comments

With this token, we enter the third period defined by Fontenay. Here's what he has to say about it: "In this period, the coat of arms of Burgundy still exists, and is even more extensive and beautiful; its shape is generally oval, but on the reverse, the mottoes of the triennial are replaced by the effigy of the king. Only the monarch's costume alludes to the events".Automatically translated
