A central rectangular frame encloses the large numeral 5 surrounded by a fine floral guilloche ring, while the digit 5 is repeated in small boxed counters at each of the four corners. The outer border consists of a continuous geometric lace-pattern frame. |

When the German advance through northern France in August 1914 disrupted normal banking and coin circulation, chambers of commerce across the region stepped in to fill the void with emergency paper. The Amiens chamber was among the earliest — this 5 Francs note was produced locally by the Imprimerie du Progrès de la Somme, a press based in the same city, which kept production fast but also kept quality modest.
The watermark is the sole security feature, a thin concession to anti-counterfeiting on a note that was never meant to outlast the emergency. Amiens would be evacuated and partially occupied before the war's end, and a significant portion of these notes never returned for redemption.
