| Comments |
By 1918, the French state's inability to keep small-change coinage in circulation had pushed hundreds of local chambers of commerce into the business of issuing emergency paper. Nancy's chamber was among the more prolific, and Berger-Levrault — a major printing and publishing house long established in Nancy — handled production locally, which was unusual; most provincial chambers farmed this work out to Paris.
The JP#87 reference covers three catalogue numbers (64, 65, 66), indicating this design was issued across multiple date variants. Worth checking which specific date is present before cataloguing further.
