| Additional information |
Huguenin Frères operated as one of Switzerland's most respected private medal manufacturers, and this piece falls squarely into the category of privately issued fantasy coinages that proliferated in the 1960s as collector demand outpaced official mint output. The "Écu d'argent" designation carries no legal tender status — Lausanne issued no sovereign coinage — making this a medaille de fantaisie struck entirely for the numismatic trade.
The Schaumdorf catalog reference X#M18 places it among world exonumia rather than regular issues.
