| Additional information |
Bandol issued this copper piece in 1997 as part of the wave of French municipal emergency currency — known as monnaie de nécessité — that proliferated ahead of the euro transition. Several coastal communes in Provence used these low-denomination tokens primarily to support local commerce and tourism, with some issues functioning as redeemable scrip within specific markets or festivals rather than as broadly circulating currency.
