Commenti	Issued under French protectorate administration during the First World War, this note exists because the wartime disruption of metal supplies made small coin production impractical across much of the French empire. The Direction Générale des Finances stepped in with emergency fractional paper — a stop-gap measure that outlasted the coin shortage by several years in some territories. The dual-printer attribution is unusual: F. Weber handled the lithographic and engraved elements locally, while Yvorra, Banier & Clave supplied the typographic overprint, both firms operating out of Tunis. A locally produced wartime emergency note from start to finish, with no metropolitan French printer involved.
