Busts like Guéant Prieur 486B.Love and marriage: It was customary in the past to give Treizain during the wedding mass. It was blessed and Treizain meant entry into a community property married. The Treizain subsequently became marriage medal or token, is so named in honor of Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles. This practice persisted into the first half of the twentieth century.
A similar jeton is F# 12589 with a single portrait of Louis XIV. The double portrait is F# 13066a1 with different lettering.
It should be noted that the reverse exists with two different legends: SVOSQVE and SVOQVE.
