| Additional information |
Cadenet issued this piece in 1996 as part of the brief wave of French municipal emergency currency experiments that preceded the euro's physical introduction. These local authority tokens, sometimes called "euros des villes," were promotional rather than legally tender — more a civic marketing exercise tied to the broader public campaign normalizing the single currency than any genuine monetary instrument. Several hundred French communes participated between roughly 1996 and 1997.
Cadenet is a small Luberon village in the Vaucluse, population under four thousand.
