| Opmerkingen |
Ostend was under German military occupation from mid-October 1914, and by 1916 the chronic shortage of small-denomination currency had forced dozens of Belgian municipalities to print their own emergency notes — noodgeld. Stad Oostende issued this 20 Francs through a local lithographer, H. Raick, which was unusual; most occupied towns sourced emergency paper from larger commercial printers elsewhere in unoccupied Belgium or the Netherlands.
Printing locally under occupation meant German authorities had direct visibility over the issue, and municipal issuers had little freedom to deviate from approved denominations or quantities.
