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 1922 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Union Commerciale et Industrielle (Commercial and Industrial Union) of Sézanne, a town in the Marne department of France. The coin features an image of a woman representing the union, surrounded by various symbols of industry and commerce. Despite being a non-circulating coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists due to its limited mintage and historical significance.
