| Additional information |
Dole issued this piece to mark the centenary of Pasteur's 1895 death, a municipally driven commemorative program common among French towns with strong biographical claims in the 1990s. Pasteur was born in Dole in 1822, though his family relocated to Arbois when he was still a child — a fact Arbois has historically disputed Dole's right to monopolize.
