| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, also printed in green, is framed by an elaborate engraved border of scrollwork, foliage, and laurel branches, with denomination roundels at each corner. At the top centre, a small oval vignette contains a classical female portrait in profile, flanked by symmetrical foliate ornaments. The central field carries seven lines of letterpress text in mixed type sizes setting out the legal constitution of the syndicate, its registered seat at the Hôtel de la Chambre de Commerce in Cambrai, and the redemption conditions. A green oval wet-stamp of the Syndicat appears at the right, and the printer's imprint is repeated at the lower right. |

Cambrai was under German military occupation from August 1914 until October 1918, which makes the very existence of this note worth pausing over. The Syndicat de Communes — a grouping of local municipalities rather than any formal banking authority — issued emergency fractional and small-denomination paper because coin had vanished from circulation almost immediately after the front stabilized nearby. Fernand Deligne, a local Cambrai printer, produced the series under occupation conditions, which explains both the modest production values and the geographic specificity of the issuer.
The Battle of Cambrai in November 1917 would later make the town internationally known as the first large-scale tank assault in history. These notes were already circulating when that fighting began.
