| Opmerkingen |
Ghent's municipal supply service issued these rationing vouchers during the German occupation of World War One, when the city's food distribution fell under strict civilian administration. The Allied naval blockade, combined with systematic German requisitioning, reduced the Belgian civilian meat supply to near-nothing by 1916 — these tokens were the bureaucratic machinery that managed the collapse.
Paper rationing scrip of this type was produced locally under occupation conditions, not by a commercial security printer. Survival rates are uneven; many were redeemed and pulped, while others were simply discarded once the system ended in 1918.
