| 备注 |
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.
