| Additional information |
Évreux's Chamber of Commerce issued these brass necessities in the early 1920s because the postwar French government simply could not produce enough small-denomination coinage to meet demand. The acute metal shortages and mint capacity problems of the First World War years had created a circulation vacuum that dozens of regional chambers across France filled independently, each issuing their own locally redeemable tokens — a fragmented, improvised monetary patchwork that persisted well into the decade.
