| Additional information |
Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, at the confluence of the Seine and Oise rivers north of Paris, has been the historic capital of French inland waterway transport since the medieval period. This municipal issue from 1995 belongs to the brief wave of French local ecu pieces struck by towns and cities during the final years before the euro made such exercises largely symbolic — a window between the Maastricht Treaty's ratification and actual monetary transition when local authorities briefly indulged in parallel currency gestures.
