| Additional information |
Issued during the brief window of 1996–2002 when French municipalities were legally permitted to produce local euro-denominated tokens in anticipation of the single currency, Vendôme's contribution belongs to a wave of so-called "euros des villes" — a collector-driven phenomenon that saw over 500 French towns mint their own pieces. These had no legal tender status and circulated only within participating local commerce schemes, if at all.
Vendôme, a small Loire Valley town, was among the more obscure issuers in the series — which explains why municipal examples from lesser-known communes now attract more attention from completists than those from major cities.
