| Opmerkingen |
Bône's municipal emergency notes of 1916–1918 belong to a broader phenomenon across French Algeria during the First World War: the near-total disappearance of small coin from circulation as metal was redirected toward the war effort, leaving communes scrambling to produce their own low-denomination substitutes. Bône — a port city on the northeastern Algerian coast, export hub for iron ore from Ouenza — had the local printing infrastructure to act quickly. Mariani's press was a working commercial printer, not a security facility, and the notes reflect that.
These were purely functional stopgaps, redeemable by the municipality and intended to vanish once coinage returned. Few survived deliberate redemption.
