| Opmerkingen |
During the early months of the First World War, the acute shortage of small change across France prompted hundreds of municipalities and chambers of commerce to issue their own emergency paper money. Rouen's joint issue — unusual in that it bears the authority of both the city administration and the chamber of commerce simultaneously — was part of that wave. The dual-authority arrangement was a practical hedge: it distributed legal and financial responsibility between two bodies rather than leaving either to bear it alone.
Imprimerie Richard, a Paris-based commercial printer, handled the work. Rouen's series ran to several denominations, and JP#110.13 sits among the more commonly encountered of the surviving pieces.
