Ref.: Feurardent 1398
> Published for the employees of the Ministry of the Navy
> Translation of the legend: The avenger (the fleet) pounces on the robbers
> In 1756, a French warship had captured two Algerian pirate ships off the Mediterranean coast. At the time, Algerian pirate ships were a constant threat to the French coastal settlements on the Mediterranean. On their shore excursions, they supplied themselves with goods for the domestic slave markets.
It is perhaps interesting that such depictions were used in a certain way arbitrarily on different occasions. For example, there is a very similar token which, with the same reverse with the fighting predators in the obverse, does not show the king but the French admiral La Galissonière. Although the occasion for the issue was also a sea battle, this time it was against the English and about the conquest of the fortress Bugny on Menorca (Klaupo, numismatik-cafe.at). In the description, these two coins are often confused. The descriptions of the French mints are correct.JochenOct 19, 2023

An historically important medal: William of Orange (1533-1584), Dutch statesman and general from Dillenburg/Germany, changed from a supporter of the Catholic Philip II to the leader of the Protestant Dutch. His successes in the Dutch Revolt led to the independence of the northern provinces of the Netherlands, which earned him the title "Father of the Fatherland". Murdered in 1884 by Balthasar Gerard, a subject of Philip II and fanatical Catholic.JochenOct 18, 2023
