Comments

The notary's office is one of the legal professions in civil law countries. Notaries are private-law jurists and public officials appointed by the public authorities, responsible for executing civil legal acts, known as notarial acts, in non-contentious jurisdictions, for which authentication is required by law or by the parties (those appearing before the notary). The profession of notary dates back to the early Middle Ages(source: Wikipedia).

"To encourage notaries to attend their meetings, the regulations provided for pecuniary penalties in the event of absence, as well as the awarding of candles to notaries in attendance. From the end of the 17th century, these were replaced by " tokens ", a kind of internal currency for each notary's company. The first tokens were minted for Paris notaries in 1675.

The Paris Chamber is one of the last to have preserved this tradition. Tokens areregularly struck to mark special events, most recently the opening of the Public Information Center in 2000 or the commemoration of the bicentenary of the Civil Code in 2004.

The Parisian token always features the motto of the Notariat and the Gnomon emblem" (source: Chambre des Notaires de Paris).
