Commentary

Il est difficile de comprendre pourquoi cette société sportive a choisi une Marianne datée, dans la légende, de 1870. En effet, le vélo tel qu’il est représenté au revers n’existait pas en 1870.
Le prix, tel qu’il est, n’est pas négligeable, le jeton étant en argent.
It is difficult to understand why this sports society chose a Marianne dated, in the legend, 1870. Indeed, the bicycle as it is represented on the reverse did not exist in 1870. The price, such as it is, is not negligible, the token being in silver
