A repeating watermark-style underprint of the issuer's name fills the central field, over which the denomination UN FRANC is set in bold letterpress type. The deliberation dates and signatory lines for the President and Trésorier appear below the principal inscription, with the printer's imprint at lower right. |

French chambres de commerce became emergency currency issuers during the First World War after the Banque de France suspended convertibility and small-denomination coins vanished from circulation almost overnight — hoarded by a public who trusted metal over paper. The Évreux chamber was among dozens that turned to Berger-Levrault in Nancy, a printing house better known for military cartography and official publications, which found itself producing emergency fractional notes for half of provincial France.
The watermark is the sole security measure, which tells you everything about the urgency and improvisation of the programme.
