| Aanvullende informatie |
Orléans issued this piece in 1998 as a local emergency currency ("monnaie de nécessité") tied to the city's millennium commemoration of Hugh Capet's election as King of the Franks in 987 — an event that initiated the Capetian dynasty and, by extension, the territorial foundations of modern France. These municipal euro issues proliferated across French towns in the late 1990s, functioning as collectible trade tokens redeemable at participating local merchants during a defined promotional window, not as legal tender.
The timing was deliberate: France was less than four years from replacing the franc with the euro, and municipalities exploited the branding opportunity freely.
