| Opmerkingen |
Roubaix was under German military occupation from October 1914, and French-issued currency quickly disappeared — hoarded, requisitioned, or simply exhausted from circulation. Municipalities across the occupied Nord department responded by printing their own emergency cardboard tokens, the so-called "monnaies de nécessité," to keep local commerce functioning at all. This Chevalier-printed piece is a product of that administrative improvisation, issued by the commune rather than any banking authority precisely because no banking authority remained operative.
The 5-centime denomination is the smallest practical unit in these Nord series. Chevalier's shop on the rue du Curoir was already producing commercial print work in the city — the occupation simply added emergency scrip to the order book.
