| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Printed in red on plain paper, the obverse is dominated by a central vignette of a fasces — the classical Roman symbol of authority — surmounted by an axe head, flanked symmetrically by laurel branches on the left and oak branches on the right. The abbreviated issuing authority and denomination inscriptions are arranged around the vignette, with the denomination '25 centimes' and date '1917' positioned at the lower right within a simple single-line rectangular border. |

Montoire-sur-le-Loir housed a French prisoner of war depot for captured officers during the First World War, and the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage across France forced many such camps and internment facilities to produce their own emergency fractional notes. This 25 centimes piece is one of several low-denomination issues produced internally for use within the depot's economy — covering canteen purchases, small transactions between prisoners, and controlled spending that kept currency flows contained within the facility.
Officer POW camps operated under different conditions than enlisted camps; the Hague Conventions permitted captured officers to receive pay, which created a genuine internal monetary need. Camp scrip was the practical solution.
