| Summary: | In the immediate aftermath of the June 1940 fall of France, the democratic Third Republic was replaced by an authoritarian regime based in the south-central spa town of Vichy. Led by the stoic, octogenarian hero of the Great War, Marshal Philippe Pétain, the Vichy regime promised the French people nothing less than national regeneration. Corruption, decadence, and division had wrought disaster. Toil, sacrifice, and patriotism would bring about resurrection. The coins minted in the État Français extolled “Work, Family, Fatherland” rather than “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.” The New Order also sought to accommodate the victorious Third Reich, whose troops now occupied two-thirds of France, including Paris and the north, as well as the Atlantic coast. |
