The Empire Chérifien emergency issues of 1944 were a direct consequence of wartime disruption to normal currency supply chains. With metropolitan France occupied and transatlantic shipping uncertain, Morocco's monetary authorities turned to small-format fractional notes to address a acute coin shortage — metal was being diverted to the war effort, and existing coin stocks were hoarded almost immediately.
L. Schultz's design credit appears on several notes in this wartime series. Printed locally rather than through the established Paris engravers the Protectorate had previously relied on, the production values reflect the constraints of the moment.
