Comment
This token is struck by Pichard Balme in Saumur, a subsidiary of Arthus Bertrand since its takeover in 1999.
It's a monumental statue, measuring 5.60 metres and weighing over 3 tonnes! At a height of over 300 metres, with open arms, it elegantly watches over the town. Down below, it can even be seen from several kilometers away when the gold leaf it's covered with shines in the sunlight.https://www.inside-lyon.com/statue-vierge-marie-fourviere/
