| Opmerkingen |
Cornimont is a small industrial commune in the Vosges, known in 1914 primarily for its textile mills. When war mobilization in August of that year triggered an immediate hoarding of coin — particularly the small-denomination silver and bronze that greased daily commercial life — local manufacturers and merchants across France stepped in to fill the void. Chagué & Cie, almost certainly a local textile firm, issued these notes to pay workers and facilitate trade in a town effectively cut off from the normal money supply.
These hyperlocal emergency issues were technically illegal under French monetary law but were tolerated out of necessity. Most were redeemed and destroyed within months once the Banque de France responded with its own small-denomination wartime notes.
