| Beschrijving voorzijde | Green and cream note printed on plain paper, with an outer guilloche border of interlaced scrollwork and large stylised "R" and "F" monograms at each corner. A central oval frame encloses the main design, at the top of which sits a circular vignette of a sailing ship surrounded by the motto "OCULI OMNIUM IN TE SPERANT DOMINE" and the word "NANTES", flanked by two herons with outstretched wings amid palm fronds. The denomination "BON DE DEUX FRANCS" is set in bold letterpress below the issuer's name, with a large green "2 Fr" underprint across the centre, two manuscript signature lines, and the serial number printed in a cartouche at the foot. |

Emergency chamber of commerce notes like this one filled the coin vacuum that hit provincial France almost immediately after August 1914, when hoarding stripped small denominations from circulation within weeks of mobilization. The Nantes chamber was among the earliest to act, and its issues circulated hard — these were working notes, not curiosities, passed across market stalls and shop counters throughout the Loire-Atlantique.
Imprimerie Moderne de Nantes, operating under the Beuchet & Vanden Brugge imprint, handled the full run locally, which was the norm for chamber issues — Paris printers were overwhelmed and the logistics of wartime made local sourcing practical. The JP#88 reference covers three distinct date variants across the series.
