Issued by the Club des Collectionneurs des Yvelines, this brass piece belongs to the wave of local emergency-style scrip and collector tokens that proliferated across French municipalities in the 1990s under the broader "euro de ville" phenomenon — towns and collectors' clubs producing their own fantasy euro denominations ahead of the single currency's 1999 introduction. Voisin-le-Bretonneux, a planned new town within Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines designated in the 1960s as part of France's grandes villes nouvelles program, was still consolidating its civic identity when this piece was struck.
