| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark green on buff paper, the obverse centres on a circular vignette bearing a classical profile bust facing right, rendered in a style evoking ancient Roman coinage in reference to the town's antique name Caesarea. Crescent moon ornaments occupy the upper corners within a simple ruled border frame. The town name arcs across the upper field, the Latin subtitle curves along the lower arc of the vignette, and the face value appears in large numerals at the lower right. |

| Opmerkingen |
Cherchell, a coastal town in Algeria's Tipaza province, issued emergency fractional notes during World War One as the wartime metal shortage made small coinage almost impossible to maintain in circulation. These hyper-local émissions de nécessité were produced by municipal authorities across Algeria during 1914–1918, often in tiny print runs on whatever stock was available. Most were redeemed quickly and destroyed, leaving few survivors.
Jean Glenat's involvement suggests the design was handled locally rather than contracted to a metropolitan printer — not unusual for a commune of Cherchell's size, where official resources were limited and improvisation was the norm.
