| 备注 |
The Direction Générale des Finances issued small-denomination emergency notes during and after the First World War to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation. This 2 Francs note, printed locally by Pforra & Savier rather than sent to a European security printer, reflects the practical constraints of the period — Tunis had to manage with what was available.
Local production by a commercial Tunis firm rather than a specialist banknote printer is the genuinely unusual element here. The overprint warning text substitutes for the embedded security features a European house would have provided.
