| Additional information |
Martinique has never had its own monetary authority — this piece was issued under France's broader "Régions et Départements d'Outre-Mer" collector series, which the Monnaie de Paris launched to mark French overseas territories that use the euro but rarely appear on circulating coinage. The series was aimed squarely at the collector market and saw no circulation whatsoever.
The .500 fineness is deliberately below sterling — a cost-containment choice consistent across the lower-denomination issues in this series.
