Comment

"At the 1752 assembly, people had been resting for a long time, and despite this, the monarch was not depicted leaning on his club, as he was in 1688; it was scarcely possible to find a scrap of the Nemean lion's skin on his shoulders". (Claude Rossignol, Des Libertés de la Bourgogne, d'après les jetons de ses États, 1851).
