Additional information

Issued as part of the wave of local currency tokens that swept French municipalities in the 1990s, this piece commemorates the twinning of Valence (Drôme) with Biberach an der Riß in Baden-Württemberg — a pairing established in the postwar Franco-German reconciliation network that formalized hundreds of such partnerships from the 1950s onward. The "[26]" designator references the Drôme departmental number, a common cataloguing convention for these regional ecu issues rather than any mint or series notation.
