| Beschrijving voorzijde | The denomination '25' is prominently displayed in large numerals at the center of the field, with the abbreviation 'Cs' immediately following. The date 1923 appears directly below the denomination. A circular legend surrounds the central design, reading 'ST. DES COMMERÇANTS' across the upper arc and 'DES SABLES D'OLONNE' along the lower arc, all rendered in raised Latin lettering. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, characteristic of French local emergency coinage of the early twentieth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This is an emergency token, not a coin — issued by a local merchants' association in the Vendée to plug a chronic shortage of small change that persisted in provincial France well into the 1920s. The national government had never adequately resolved the fractional coinage deficit that began during World War I, and chambers of commerce, syndicates, and municipal bodies across France filled the gap themselves. Les Sables-d'Olonne, a fishing port and emerging seaside resort on the Atlantic coast, saw enough commercial traffic to justify an organized local issue.
The Elias Monetary catalog reference 10.3 indicates at least two other varieties exist in this series from the same issuer.
