| Opmerkingen |
During the German occupation of northern France in 1915, the seventy communes of Nord and Pas-de-Calais pooled their issuing authority to produce emergency small-change notes — a direct response to the near-total disappearance of coin from circulation under occupation. Individual communes lacked the administrative capacity to sustain independent issues, and this collective arrangement was a practical workaround. Henry Lefebvre in Cambrai, himself operating under occupation conditions, handled the printing.
The watermark is notable given the constraints: securing even basic security paper in occupied territory required considerable ingenuity. Cambrai itself fell under German control in August 1914 and would remain so until October 1918.
