1 Franc - Chambre de Commerce d'Avignon et de Vaucluse 84

French Chambers of Commerce were authorized to issue emergency small-denomination notes following the coin shortage that began in 1914, and many were still circulating well into the 1920s — a decade after the crisis that prompted them. The Avignon chamber's franc notes were among the later issues in this nationwide series, printed by Berger-Levrault in Nancy, a firm better known for military and administrative printing than commercial banknote work.

The JP# reference covers four catalog variants across this denomination, likely differing by date or serial block. Watermarking was a concession to security on what were essentially municipal scrip notes.
