| Additional information |
Saint-André-de-l'Eure is a small Norman commune, and like hundreds of French towns between roughly 1918 and 1924, its local chamber of commerce filled the coin vacuum left by wartime metal requisitioning and hoarding by issuing its own aluminium nécessité tokens. The national coinage system had effectively collapsed for small denominations — state-struck bronze and copper-nickel pieces had vanished from daily commerce, absorbed into private hoards or melted for munitions.
The Union Commerciale et Industrielle issues from this commune are among the more obscure in Elie Morel's census of French local emergency coinage, with El Mon. #10.2 distinguishing a specific variant within the Saint-André series.
