| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in brown on cream paper, the obverse carries the municipal arms of Saint-Omer — a crowned heraldic shield within a laurel wreath — at the upper left, with the issuer title VILLE DE SAINT-OMER across the top. A large underprint vignette of the city skyline, dominated by a Gothic church tower at right, fills the centre and lower field behind the bold denomination CENT FRANCS and the numeral 100F. The note bears two manuscript signatures below the titles LE RECEVEUR MUNICIPAL and LE MAIRE DE SAINT-OMER, with a serial number at lower left and SÉRIE B in a decorative cartouche at the foot, all enclosed within an ornate foliate letterpress border; the engraver's initials G.V. appear at lower right. |

| Opmerkingen |
Saint-Omer issued these municipal bons in 1940 under German occupation, when the disruption of normal banking and the withdrawal of coin from circulation forced hundreds of French municipalities to produce their own emergency paper. The Pas-de-Calais département fell under a separate German military administration from the rest of occupied France — attached to the Brussels command rather than Paris — which added further complication to supply chains and official currency flows.
Loïez-Bataille was a local Saint-Omer printer, not a specialized security press, which is exactly what you'd expect given the circumstances. Vandenbergue's engraving work is the one element that elevates this above the purely functional.
