| Opmerkingen |
Bougie-Sétif's Chamber of Commerce resorted to these small emergency issues in 1916 because the war had drained France's metropolitan coinage supply so completely that small-denomination bronze had effectively vanished from Algerian circulation. Chambers of commerce across Algeria were authorized to fill the gap with locally printed paper, and Jourdan's Algiers press — which closed the same year — handled several of these regional issues simultaneously.
The 50 × 50 mm square format was a deliberate choice to distinguish denomination by shape, reducing confusion among an only partially literate public. Moncade's design work for Jourdan appears on multiple Algerian emergency issues from this period.
