| Additional information |
Bettancourt-la-Ferrée is a small commune in the Haute-Marne department with a population measured in the hundreds. In the early-to-mid 1990s, a wave of French municipalities issued local ecu pieces under the broader European enthusiasm surrounding the Maastricht Treaty and the anticipated single currency — S.L.O. Collections produced a significant number of these pieces as commercial collectibles marketed through local governments rather than circulated as genuine tender. This one is from the department numbered 52.
