[This curious medal, which is figured in Rigollot's _Monnaies des Fous_
(Pl. iv. fig. 10.), and the reverse of which has been engraved by
Tilliot (_Fête des Foux_) as the seal of the _Mère Folle_ of Dijon, is
a satirical medal issued by the Protestants. Their opponents retorted,
or provoked its issue, by one which Riggolot has also figured (fig.
11.): which has on one side the head of Calvin, crowned with the tiara,
&c. (which, when turned, becomes that of the Devil), and the words
"_Joan. Calvinus Heresiarch. pessimus_;" and on the reverse a
Cardinal's head, which is turned into a fool's head, with the motto
"_Et Stulti, aliquando sapite_."--Psalm xciii.]
