I propose a round token made of brass. Bust of Louis XV facing right, signed J. Louis XV, by the grace of God, King of the French and Navarre. In the exergue: CHAMBRE AVX DENIER. Hebe standing near a table, pouring ambrosia for Jupiter, crowned, sitting next to his eagle.

She serves the celestial beings. This specimen illustrates the type in Guéant-Prieur. The Chambre aux deniers is "a sort of accounting chamber established for the personal expenses of the king or rather of the King's Hotel" (Charles Préau, Study on the Chambre aux deniers of the king from the 12th to the 16th century). It is also called "chambre aux deniers de l'hôtel" and has been regularly established since the reign of Saint Louis. The expenses of the offices, Pantry, Cupbearer, Kitchen, Fruitery, Stable, and Pound, are settled by the Chambre aux deniers, which received funds from the Chamber of the Treasury.
