| Opmerkingen |
French chambers of commerce were authorized to issue emergency small-denomination notes in 1914 specifically to address the near-total disappearance of coin from circulation — hoarding had stripped the country of fractional currency within weeks of mobilization. Angoulême's chamber, like dozens of others across provincial France, contracted locally rather than waiting for centralized supply. Keller frères, a regional printer with no particular security printing background, produced these on plain white stock with no protective features whatsoever.
The JP#9-18/19 reference covers two closely related types within this issue, distinguished by minor typographic differences that remain a source of debate among specialists.
