The municipal coat of arms of Saint-Hubert, engraved in a small vignette at upper left, shows the patron saint with a stag bearing a crucifix between its antlers, surmounted by a crown. The issuing authority name VILLE DE ST-HUBERT appears across the top in large letterpress type, with the denomination 1 FR. underlined at upper right. The central legend BON DE UN FRANC is set in bold decorative type between two horizontal rules, below which the guarantee and issuance texts appear in smaller letterpress, followed by four manuscript signatures of the municipal council officials. |

Belgian municipal emergency notes of 1914 are common enough as a category, but most were printed by established commercial firms in larger cities. This one was printed entirely locally — Alcide Félix ran a small print shop in Saint-Hubert itself, which was deep in the Ardennes and effectively cut off from normal banking channels within weeks of the German invasion in August 1914.
The result is crude by the standards of contemporary Belgian bons de nécessité, with none of the engraved security features used by town administrations that had advance warning or better resources. Provincial isolation made the Félix shop the only practical option.
