Comment

Honorific issue offered by the manufacturer to the issuer’s representatives (elected officials, notables...). Some mintage may exceed one hundred. Posterior restrikes are suspected for Rouen (Elie 2003 p. 9).

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1918, during a time of great economic and political turmoil in France, particularly in the city of Rouen. Despite the challenges of World War I and the subsequent German occupation of Rouen, the city's Chamber of Commerce still managed to mint this commemorative coin, which highlights the resilience and determination of the people of Rouen during that time.
