| Additional information |
Issued by the Conseil Général de Loire-Atlantique in 1993, this zamak écu belongs to a wave of local currency tokens produced across French municipalities during the early 1990s as the Maastricht Treaty's single currency provisions forced a reckoning with regional economic identity. The Quartier Decré reference points to Nantes' central commercial district, anchored by the long-established Decré department store on the rue du Moulin.
