Stembert is a small village east of Verviers, now absorbed into it administratively. This note is one of hundreds of municipal emergency issues that flooded Belgium in the autumn of 1914 after the German occupation disrupted the banking system and caused wholesale hoarding of metal coinage within weeks of the invasion. Communes had no legal authority to issue currency, but they did it anyway — necessity outran regulation everywhere.
The official stamp was the primary authentication mechanism for these local issues, which made forgery relatively easy and official confidence in them correspondingly low.
