Commenti	The Régence de Tunis small-denomination emergency notes of 1920–1921 were a direct response to the acute coin shortage that plagued the French protectorate during and immediately after the First World War. Metallic currency had been heavily hoarded and exported, and the Direction Générale des Finances stepped in with low-value paper to keep retail commerce moving. Printing locally at Imprimerie Yvorra & Barlier rather than sending the work to mainland France kept turnaround fast, and Joseph Friedling — handling both design and engraving — was a Tunis-based practitioner, not a metropolitan specialist. The result is a note with a distinctly provincial character compared to contemporaneous French colonial issues done through the Banque de France's official printing apparatus.
