| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in red on an cream-toned paper with a repetitive text underprint reading 'CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE BETHUNE' across the entire field. The centre bears the large denomination 'UN FRANC' and date '4 Octobre 1915', flanked by two circular vignettes containing acceptance text, each surmounted by a classical column with a pair of winged lions at the base. The denomination '1.fr' appears in the upper corners, and a 'SANS VALEUR' overprint in grey-black ink, approximately 3 × 40 mm, is applied diagonally across the lower centre, with a blue rectangular cancellation stamp overlying the signature area (JP#26-7 variety). |

Béthune sits in the Pas-de-Calais, close enough to the front lines in 1915 that conventional banking infrastructure had largely collapsed. Like dozens of other French chambres de commerce during the First World War, Béthune's issued its own small-denomination emergency notes to plug the gap left by the hoarding and disappearance of coins — a phenomenon that hit northern France particularly hard given the proximity of active combat and the displacement of the civilian population.
The JP#26-6/7/8/9 reference covers multiple varieties within the same issue, distinguished by serial number ranges or minor typographic differences. Imprimerie Richard, Paris handled a significant volume of wartime emergency paper for provincial issuers across France.
