| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Régions de France" series issued across 2011, this piece belongs to a program that produced a coin for each of metropolitan France's 22 administrative regions. At .500 fineness, these are among the lower-purity silver issues from a mint that otherwise has a strong tradition of fine silver coinage — a cost decision that kept retail prices accessible for a collector series with wide regional appeal.
