Cornesse is a small rural commune in the hills east of Liège, and like hundreds of Belgian municipalities in 1915, it was forced to print its own emergency fractional currency after German occupation disrupted the national money supply. The Crouquet & Fils print shop in nearby Verviers supplied many of these local issues across the province, producing them quickly and cheaply for administrations with no printing infrastructure of their own.
The official stamp served as the primary authentication device — without it, the note was worthless. Forgery of these low-denomination communal issues was nonetheless a real concern, and unstamped remainders exist.
