The Chambre de Commerce de Bergerac was among dozens of French regional chambers that rushed emergency small-denomination notes into circulation in late 1914, when the hoarding of coins — silver and bronze alike — created a near-total breakdown of everyday retail transactions within weeks of mobilization. These notes were legal stopgaps, not banking instruments, and the issuing authority had no pretension otherwise.
Pierre Dumont's Limoges press handled several similar regional commissions during this period. The L. Pigeon design credit is unusual enough to note — most chamber issues of this type went unsigned.
