| Anmerkungen |
Emergency small-change notes issued during WWI by a local merchants' syndicate in Bône (now Annaba, Algeria), filling the void left when metallic coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1914. The French government tolerated — and effectively encouraged — these private syndicat issues rather than flood the colonies with emergency coinage from already-strained metropolitan mints.
The Syndicat Commercial Bônois was one of dozens of such bodies across French North Africa that stepped into the gap. These notes had no legal tender status in any formal sense, yet they circulated freely within local commerce because merchants who issued them also accepted them.
