Comment

This small token is rare and was probably not systematically distributed to survivors of the massacres. There are two different right-hand corners, easily distinguished by the end of the titulation. This change was made necessary by the breakage of the first corner under the bust. There are also two reverse corners, one with Charles X, the other with Charles DIX.
