Beschrijving keerzijde Printed in black on buff paper, the reverse is dominated by the bold letterpress inscription TICKET MONNAIE across the upper field, flanked by decorative guilloche panels at left and right. At centre, a circular handstamp in blue ink bearing the commune's name and official seal serves as a validation mark. The overall layout is plain, consistent with wartime emergency currency produced at minimal cost.

Opmerkingen

Affreville — now Khemis Miliana — was a small colonial commune in the Mitidja region, and like dozens of Algerian municipalities during the First World War, it resorted to issuing its own fractional emergency notes when the acute shortage of small change made commerce difficult. The French metropole had been draining coin for the war effort since 1914, and by 1917 the problem in North African territories was acute enough that even minor communes were printing their own scrip.

The handstamp was the authentication mechanism — without it, the note was simply printed paper. Whether a dedicated rubber stamp or an existing administrative seal was pressed into service varies by commune, and for Affreville specifically the documentation is thin.
