Opmerkingen

Croix and Wasquehal are adjacent industrial communes on the eastern fringe of Roubaix, and their joint issue of emergency bon de monnaie in 1914 reflects the immediate crisis that gripped northern France within weeks of the German advance. By October 1914, the entire Roubaix-Tourcoing agglomeration was under occupation, coin had vanished from circulation through hoarding, and local authorities scrambled to produce fractional substitutes using whatever printer was still operational nearby. Sénécaut, a Roubaix house, was the obvious choice.

The joint municipal authority arrangement — two communes sharing a single emission — is relatively uncommon even within the crowded field of French WWI necessity issues.
