Jeton Louis XV - chambre de commerce de L'Isle

There are 26 "Chambre de commerce de la ville de l'Isle" token references listed at FEUARDENT.

This model appears to be the first, and depicts King Louis XV as a child.

By comparison with other tokens featuring this obverse and signature (I.B.), its minting date appears to be around, or from, 1717 (e.g. https://fr.numista.com/462815 or https://www.jetons-medailles.com/fr /louis-xv/3818-jeton-louis-xv-argenterie-du-roi-1718.html ).

The first chamber of commerce was created in Marseille in 1599, and was known as the "bureau du commerce". This office was approved by King Henry IV the following year. A second bureau du commerce was set up in Rouen in 1601, followed by a third in Paris the same year. In 1650, the Marseilles Board of Trade was renamed the Chamber of Commerce, and became independent of the city council.

In Paris, the six corps des marchands and the juges-consuls had a role similar to that of a chamber of commerce: an association of merchants brought together to deliberate on the interests of their city or region and give their opinions to the government. Colbert legalized them in 1664, stipulating that each trading post would choose two of their number to represent it.

However, the institution was not really established until the Council decree of August 30, 1701, and numerous chambers of commerce sprang up in the 18th century in Lyon, Rouen, Toulouse, Montpellier, Bordeaux and elsewhere.

Abolished in 1791, the chambers were re-established in 1802.
