| Opmerkingen |
Ostend fell under German occupation in October 1914 and remained so until the armistice. Municipal emergency notes — noodgeld — were a practical necessity once occupying authorities disrupted normal banking and coin circulation. This 100 Franc note was issued in 1918, the final year of the occupation, when local authorities had been improvising scrip for nearly four years.
The engraver credit to L. Belloguet points to French-trained craftsmanship, though verifying the exact press house is difficult for municipal Belgian issues of this period. Worth noting: Ostend was administratively part of West Flanders, not East Flanders — catalog misattributions on provincial origin are common for Belgian WWI municipal issues.
