| Additional information |
Issued by the N.A.F.S.E.P. — the Numismatic Association of the Friends of the Philatelic and Economic Sciences of Château-Renault — this piece belongs to the wave of privately-issued local trade tokens that swept France in the mid-1990s ahead of the euro's 1999 introduction. Towns and regional associations rushed to mint their own "euro" denominated pieces, exploiting the name before it became legally protected currency. Most circulated only within specific markets, festivals, or merchant networks, redeemable locally for goods.
Château-Renault is a small commune in the Indre-et-Loire, historically known for its leather tanning industry rather than any numismatic significance.
