Par Peter Paul Werner à Nuremberg. Cette médaille [classé en jeton par J. Lecompte] commémore le combat du 8 juin 1755 dans le Golfe du Saint-Laurent qui sera l’événement déclencheur de la déclaration de guerre de 1756, marquant le début de la guerre de Sept Ans entre la France alliée à l’Autriche et l’Angleterre alliée à la Prusse. Après plusieurs affrontements des forces coloniales françaises et britanniques en 1754, le gouvernement britannique décide d’envoyer des troupes occuper le Fort Duquesne construit par les Français, près de l’actuelle Pittsburgh en Pennsylvanie. La France, avertie, décide d’envoyer elle aussi des troupes de renfort par un convoi de dix-huit bâtiments sous le commandement du chef d’escadre Dubois de La Motte. Trois vaisseaux armés, quatre frégates et onze vaisseaux de ligne servant de transports de troupes partent en direction du Québec. Face à eux, la Royal Navy envoie deux flottes d’interception dirigées par le vice-amiral Boscawen, dans le Saint-Laurent, et par le vice-amiral Francis Holburne. La majeure partie du convoi français réussit à passer, à l’exception de trois navires, l’Alcide (64 canons), le Lys (22 canons) et le Dauphin Royal (22 canons) qui sont interceptés par les vaisseaux britanniques. Après cinq heures de combat, l’Alcide et le Lys abaissent leurs pavillons tandis que le Dauphin Royal réussit à s’échapper pour Louisbourg. Agression délibérée ou acte de guerre en temps de paix, cette attaque britannique provoque une émotion considérable à Paris où la Bourse s’effondre, par suite des menaces sur le commerce colonial. La propagande anglaise rapporte une victoire, toutefois peu glorieuse car l’essentiel du convoi français est passé. Le 29 août 1756, l’attaque de la Saxe par le Roi de Prusse Frédéric II entraînera une partie des pays d’Europe dans la Guerre de Sept Ans

Top Pop : 最高鑑定! 来歴: La collection Jean Lecompte. ジャン・ルコント著作『Monnaies et jetons des colonies françaises (仏領コインとジュトン) 』で解説された一枚 (ガドゥリー出版 2007年 pp.164-169) PCGS MS62. ごくわずかな接触痕 美しい金錆 極美品~完全未使用 彫刻師Peter Paul Werner作 ニュルンベルク このメダル ( J・ルコント氏はジュトンに分類 )は、セントローレンス湾における「1755年6月8日の海戦」を記念して製造されました。この海戦が口火となり、1756年に宣戦布告した、フランス・オーストリア連合軍対イギリス・プロイセン連合軍の「七年戦争」に発展します。1754年フランスとイギリスの植民地軍の幾度もの対立の後、イギリスは、フランス植民地軍が造ったデュケーヌ砦 ( 現在のオハイオ州ピッツバーグ近く) を奪取すべく、艦隊の派遣を決めます。それを知ったフランスも砦を護衛するため、デュボワ・ド・ラ・モット船隊長の指揮のもと18隻の船団 (武装船3隻、護衛艦4隻、軍隊輸送の戦列艦11隻)をケベックへ送ります。対するイギリス海軍は、ボスカーウェン提督とフランシス・ホルボーン提督がそれぞれに率いた2隻の迎撃艦をセントローレンス湾に送り込みます。フランス船隊の多くは難を逃れますが、アルシド号 (64門艦)、リス号 (22門艦)、ドーファン・ロワイヤル号 (22門艦)の3隻はイギリス軍の迎撃を受けます。5時間に及ぶ戦闘の後、アルシド号 とリス号は戦旗を下ろし降伏、ドーファン・ロワイヤル号のみルイブール要塞に逃げ切りました。平時であったにもかかわらず交戦状態であるかのごとき激しいイギリスの攻撃は、フランス本土を震撼させ、植民地商業の脅威からパリでは株価が暴落。イギリスは勝利宣言しましたが、フランス船団のほとんどが無事に通過したことから、栄光の勝利とは言えません。そして、1756年8月29日プロイセン王フリードリヒ2世がザクセンを侵攻し、ヨーロッパ諸国の一部を七年戦争へと引き込みました。

Lec.97a = cet ex. - Frossard 52 - Betts 392 ; Silver - 14,54 g - 35 mm - 12 h. PCGS MS 62. Top Pop: The finest graded! Provenance: Jean Lecompte collection. This coin illustrated in the Jean Lecompte book, Monnaies et jetons des colonies française (The French Colonies Coins and Tokens) Gadoury editions, 2007, pp. 164-169 Slight handling marks. Beautiful patina. Extremely fine to Fleur de coin. This medal [classified as a token by J. Lecompte] commemorates the June 8, 1755 battle in the Gulf of St. Lawrence: the event precluding the 1756 declaration of the Seven Years' War between France and Austria against England and Prussia. In 1754, following several clashes between French and British Colonial forces, the British government sent troops to occupy Fort Duquesne, near present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. France was alerted and sent eighteen ships under the command of the squadron-chiefs Dubois de La Motte with reinforcement troops. Three armed vessels, four frigates and eleven ships of the line serving as troop transporters set out for Quebec. The English Royal Navy sent two fleets to intercept the French, led by vice-admiral Boscawen and Vice-Admiral Francis Holburne. After five hours of fighting, the French ships Alcide (64 guns) and the Lys (22 guns) lowered their flags. The Dauphin Royal (22 guns) escaped to Louisbourg. Most of the French convoy managed to escape the British fleet. This deliberate aggression was an act of war. The British attack caused panic in Paris where the stock market collapsed because of the threat to Colonial trade. English propaganda reported a victory, however inglorious, since most of the French convoy passed safely. On August 29, 1756, the attack on Saxony by the Prussian King Frederick II led to the Seven Years' War.
