Comment
· Like the King's Council, the Chamber of Accounts is a dismemberment of the former King's court, in the part responsible for overseeing the royal domain, handling finances and auditing the accounts of the King's agents.· This token is against the Huguenots destroyed on Saint Barthélemy. (BNF, Clairambault 281, fol. 307.)
· There is also a silver version. 28 mm. – 4,59 g. See below.
