Comment
This token is struck by Pichard Balme in Saumur, a subsidiary of Arthus Bertrand since its takeover in 1999.
In Lourdes, Bernadette Soubirous asserts that on March 25, 1858, four years after the dogma was promulgated, the lady who appeared to her presented herself as follows, in Gascon, in the grotto of Massabielle: "Que soy era immaculada councepciou" ("I am the Immaculate Conception"). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immacul%C3%A9e_Conception
