170r Medailles courantes On faict les poincons de relief dacier non trempe puys on le trampe & avecq cy on frappe sur des matrices non rougies au foeu comme quelques ungs pensent Mays sur du fer acerre recuit & adoulcy quon trampe apres

Current medals One makes the relief puncheons of untempered steel, then one tempers the[m], & with [these] one strikes on matrices, not reddened in fire, as some think, but on steeled iron, reheated & sweetened, which one has afterwards tempered.

Should Medailles courantes be trans "current medals"


Pantagrueliste commented:

I'd rather translate it as "common" or "ordinary" medals.
