| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Issued under France's 1998 "Euro de Villes" program, which allowed participating municipalities to produce legal-tender collector pieces ahead of the euro's January 1999 launch. Chartres was among roughly 40 French cities that issued these pieces, each valid locally at face value during a brief window. The series was explicitly a transitional publicity exercise — the Banque de France authorized denominations in euros before the currency itself existed in any official monetary sense.
The bimetallic format was borrowed directly from the then-finalised euro coin specifications, giving the public a tactile preview of what the coinage would feel like.
