| Additional information |
Domont, a commune in Val-d'Oise north of Paris, issued this piece during the brief French local currency experiment of the late 1990s, when dozens of municipalities and commercial associations produced franc-denominated or notional "euro" tokens ahead of the single currency's 1999 introduction. These civic issues had no legal tender status and functioned as promotional or commercial exchange tokens — typically redeemable at participating local businesses. Domont's issue predates the official euro coinage by five years.
