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 in this way, in Gascon, in the grotto of Massabielle, in Lourdes. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immacul%C3%A9e_Conception

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Ce jeton est frappé par Pichard Balme à Saumur, filiale d'Arthus Bertrand depuis son rachat en 1999.

 

À Lourdes, Bernadette Soubirous affirme que, le 25 mars 1858, soit quatre ans après la promulgation du dogme, la dame qui lui est apparue s'est elle-même présentée ainsi, en gascon, dans la grotte de Massabielle, à Lourdes. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immacul%C3%A9e_Conception
