| Additional information |
Les Arcs-sur-Argens is a commune in the Var department best known as a staging point during the Allied landings of Provence in August 1944. The écu de ville series that proliferated across French municipalities in the 1990s was a direct outgrowth of liberalized regulations allowing local authorities to issue commemorative struck pieces — filling a niche between official Monnaie de Paris output and purely private medals.
These hyper-local issues were produced in relatively small runs for the regional collector market and rarely traveled far from their home communes.
