| Opmerkingen |
French chambres de commerce were authorized to issue emergency fractional notes in August 1914 as the mobilization crisis drained metallic coin from circulation almost overnight. Boulogne-sur-Mer, as a major Channel port, felt that drain acutely — the volume of troop and supply movement through the town in those first weeks made small-denomination liquidity an immediate practical problem, not an abstract monetary one.
The JP#31-12 reference places this within the Pirot-Jodet corpus of French nécessité issues. Watermarked paper was the primary anti-counterfeiting measure for most chamber issues of this period, security printing being both expensive and slow to arrange under wartime conditions.
