The visual for this token was designed by Christian Lacroix, as part of the "Bêtes, Monstres et Bestioles" exhibition organized from June 15 to October 15, 2012 at the Château de Tarascon. This exhibition features, among other things, animal drawings by C. Lacroix as well as various proposals he made for the visual of this token. The Tarasque is an animal of Provencal folklore. It was said to haunt the marshes near Tarascon, destroying everything in its path and terrorizing the population. This monster is a kind of dragon with six short legs like those of a bear, a torso like that of an ox, covered with a turtle shell and equipped with a scaly tail ending in a scorpion sting. Its head has been described as that of a horse-eared lion with an old man's face. The Tarasque of Tarascon was included in France's inventory of intangible cultural heritage in 2019, but since November 25, 2005, the Tarasque festivities in Tarascon have been proclaimed by UNESCO to be part of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity, and were included in 2008 among the processional giants and dragons of Belgium and France.
