The Gers chamber of commerce, like dozens of its counterparts across France, began issuing small-denomination emergency paper during the First World War to compensate for the near-total disappearance of bronze and copper coinage from circulation. The public had hoarded metal coins almost immediately after mobilization in August 1914, and by 1915 the shortage was acute enough that even five-centime transactions became problematic in provincial commerce.
The JP reference spanning multiple numbers — 38, 41, and 43 — reflects distinct emission types within this denomination, likely varying by date, series letter, or issuing authorization. Collectors should verify which specific emission is in hand before cataloging.
