| Additional information |
Vendôme belongs to a French commemorative series honoring cities that held particular significance during the medieval and early modern periods. The Loir-et-Cher town was a seat of the Bourbon family before their ascent to the French throne, and the Château de Vendôme served as residence to several counts whose dynastic ambitions would eventually reshape the kingdom entirely.
The .800 fineness places this squarely within France's mid-tier commemorative output of the 1990s — a deliberate cost decision that distinguished circulating commemoratives from the finer collector issues of the same period.
