Opmerkingen

Pepinster is a small textile town in the Vesdre valley, and like hundreds of Belgian communes it resorted to locally printed emergency paper during the German occupation of 1914–18, when coin all but vanished from circulation. The Comité Local — typically a municipal committee empowered by the occupation administration to manage local economic stopgaps — issued these low-denomination notes to keep small transactions moving in markets and shops.

Tickets Meurice of Brussels was one of the more prolific printers of Belgian commune notes during this period, supplying dozens of local authorities across occupied Belgium with modest but serviceable emergency issues.
