| Opmerkingen |
The Algiers Chamber of Commerce issued emergency fractional notes like this one because the French colonial monetary system chronically failed to supply adequate small change to Algeria — a problem that predated the First World War but worsened dramatically during it. Chambers of Commerce across French Algeria were formally authorized to fill the gap, and Alger's series ran well into the 1920s, long after metropolitan France had resolved its own token shortage.
Jules Carbonel was the dominant commercial printer in colonial Algiers, handling a wide range of official and semi-official printing for local institutions. Entirely locally produced, from plate to press.
