| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized facing effigy of the French author Jean Giono rendered in a modernist engraving style, set against a background of manuscript script lines evoking his literary works. The portrait is depicted in low relief with abstract, sketched linework filling the field. The legend 'JEAN GIONO' arcs along the upper rim, while the commemorative dates '1895-1995' appear in the lower field, marking the centenary of his birth. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Manosque issued this piece as part of the wave of French municipal ECU tokens that proliferated in the early-to-mid 1990s, when dozens of towns exploited the pre-euro enthusiasm for ECU-denominated collector pieces. The legal framework was loose enough that communes could issue these without central bank authorization, treating them as medals rather than currency — a distinction that kept them off the Banque de France's radar while still circulating locally in some cases.
Manosque itself is better known as the birthplace of Jean Giono than for any monetary tradition.
