QUESTION: Hi Brad,
Here is the only other info that I would think that would help
the Region De Montmedy   Serie B  Serial # 455965

Thanks,
Linda

Answer
Hi Linda, this is emergency money (notgeld) issued by cities and towns. They are generally worth about $1 depending on type, amount of wear and collector demand. Montmedy was a French city on the Meuse River and is also fairly common.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
