Portée et contenu
A méreau coin or token was given to Huguenots who were permitted to take communion at church. It also identified genuine members of the congregation. It could be taken away from its owner as an act of church discipline.
On one side, Christ is depicted as a shepherd, with a staff in His left hand, holding a trumpet in His right hand. Two fig trees, one on either side of Christ, with a cross and banner are also shown. A flock of sheep, symbolising His followers, is shown at His feet; on the other is written: "Ne crains point petit troupeau Luc XII, 32." (Do not be afraid, little flock Luke 12:32).
