| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two heraldic shields displayed side by side in the center of the field, both enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The left shield bears a vair pattern with fleur-de-lis motifs, representing the historical arms of Wasquehal; the right shield displays a checkered pattern of billets and trefoils. The dates 1096 and 1996 appear above and below the shields respectively, flanking the anniversary commemoration. The legend WASKENHAL and WASQUEHAL (the Flemish and French names of the town) arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription 900 ANS curves along the lower border outside the beaded circle. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wasquehal's 1996 local currency issue belongs to the brief flowering of French municipal "monnaies de nécessité" that proliferated in the mid-1990s following a loosely interpreted reading of French commercial law allowing communes to issue exchange tokens redeemable within a defined local retail network. The experiment was broadly short-lived — most schemes collapsed within a few years as redemption logistics proved unworkable and participating merchants withdrew.
The departmental code 59 identifying Nord appears in the name itself, a cataloging convention that became necessary once dozens of French towns issued near-identical denominations simultaneously.
