Historic context:
Charles-Alexandre de Lorraine (1712-1780) was the fourth son of Léopold de Lorraine and Charlotte d'Orléans. Brother of François I of Austria, he was governor of the Austrian Netherlands until his death. Charles-Alexandre became Grand Master of the Catholic Teutonic Order on May 4, 1761.
This jeton commemorates the laying of the first stone for the reconstruction of the Abbey of Forest (Vorst), near Brussels, on September 12, 1764. The abbey then had around fifteen nuns, all from aristocratic families, led by the Abbess Marie-Josèphe de Bousies de Rouveroy.
