| Anmerkungen |
The Chambres de commerce emergency issues of 1914–1926 filled the void left by the near-total disappearance of small-denomination coinage during and after the First World War. Hoarding, metal requisitions, and the general collapse of confidence in circulating coin forced local bodies across France to print their own fractional notes — technically unauthorized but tolerated by the state out of necessity. Foix, the prefecture of Ariège, was one of dozens of provincial chambers that commissioned local printers rather than waiting for central solutions that were slow to arrive.
Berdoulat was a Toulouse-based printer with no particular distinction in banknote production, which shows in the utilitarian typography of the series.
