Comment
The Union Commerciale Menehouldaise was founded in 1906 by M. Geraudel (Gadoury-Elie 1990, p. 482). Interesting fact
The coin's design features a portrait of Saint Menehould, a Christian saint who is said to have lived in the 5th century. According to legend, Saint Menehould was a hermit who lived in a forest near the town of Sainte-Menehould, and was known for his kindness and generosity to the local people. The coin's design is a nod to the town's rich history and cultural heritage.
