Comment
Honorific issue offered by the manufacturer to the issuer’s representatives (elected officials, notables...). Some mintage may exceed one hundred (Elie 2003 p. 9).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1921 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather as a collector's item. Despite this, it still holds significant historical and numismatic value, particularly for collectors interested in French notgeld and the Provençal Region. Additionally, the fact that it's made of silver adds to its rarity and worth, making it a unique and sought-after piece among collectors.
