| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Brown and ochre letterpress note with a fine guilloche underprint carrying the repeated text GRANVILLE and CHERBOURG across the field. The title banner CHAMBRES DE COMMERCE DE GRANVILLE ET CHERBOURG arches across the top, flanked by the years 1920 and 1925 in ornamental cartouches. The denomination 50 CENTIMES appears in bold white letters on a dark central panel, with the municipal arms of Granville (anchor) at left and Cherbourg (three stars) at right, above the exchangeability clause and two manuscript presidential signatures. |

During and after World War One, the French central banking system was so severely strained that hundreds of local chambers of commerce were authorized to issue their own small-denomination emergency notes — a practice that continued well into the early 1920s as coin shortages persisted. The joint issue by the chambers of Granville and Cherbourg reflects a regional cooperation unusual even within that decentralized framework; most chambers issued independently.
Yves Caraës was a local Granville printer, not a specialist security firm, which accounts for the relatively modest production quality. The watermark is the primary — and essentially only — anti-counterfeiting measure employed.
