Boulogne-sur-Mer sits on the Pas-de-Calais coast, and by August 1914 the disruption to normal banking was near-immediate — the French mobilization froze credit and drained small-denomination coins from circulation within days of the declaration of war. Chambres de commerce across France filled the gap with their own emergency fractional notes, legally authorized under a wartime decree, and Boulogne was among the earliest to act.
The violet corner values on this type distinguish it from earlier printings in the JP#31 series — a straightforward overprint modification, but useful for dating examples to this specific window of issue running through mid-1916.
