Lyon issued a series of local currency tokens during the mid-1990s as part of a broader French municipal promotion initiative, where several cities were authorized to produce silver pieces nominally denominated in euros ahead of the currency's 1999 introduction — effectively a promotional gamble on a monetary union that had not yet legally existed.
