| Additional information |
Groupement des Mousquetaires — the French retail cooperative behind the Intermarché supermarket chain — issued this piece in 1998 as an internal loyalty or promotional token, part of a broader wave of retailer-issued scrip that circulated within specific commercial networks across France during the late 1990s. These tokens occupied a legally ambiguous space: not currency, not quite voucher, but accepted as tender within the issuing group's stores.
