Comment
The Union Commerciale Menehouldaise was founded in 1906 by M. Geraudel (Gadoury-Elie 1990, p. 482). Interesting fact
The 25 Centimes coin from Sainte-Menehould, France, is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of a young woman wearing a Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty and freedom. This design was created by the French sculptor and engraver, Auguste-Oscar Meissonier, and was used on several other French coins during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
