| Beschrijving voorzijde | Blue and red letterpress bon communal on paper with a light guilloche underprint reading 'VILLE DE LEUZE' and '25 CENTIMES'. To the left, a heraldic lion rampant stands atop a carved stone pedestal bearing the numeral '25'; to the right, a vignette of a church tower with surrounding townscape. The large red overprint '25 CENTIMES' dominates the centre, below the black series number and the heading 'VILLE DE LEUZE / Bon Communal de'. A circular municipality cachet is struck in violet, and the lower portion carries the redemption clause, the date of the Conseil Communal deliberation (25-1-1918), and signature lines for the Secrétaire and the Bourgmestre. |

| Opmerkingen |
Leuze, a small Belgian commune in Hainaut, issued these emergency fractional notes during the German occupation of World War One — part of a vast patchwork of local currency that proliferated across Belgium when coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1914. The occupying authorities' requisitioning of copper and nickel left ordinary commerce stranded, and municipalities, cooperatives, and even individual businesses stepped in to fill the gap.
Lithographie d'Ennètières was a regional press operating in northern France, its use here reflecting the improvised supply chains Belgian communes worked with under occupation. The communal seal served as the primary authentication device — modest, but adequate for hyperlocal use.
