Thann sits in the Haut-Rhin, and by late 1914 the front line ran directly through the surrounding valley — the town changed hands repeatedly in the opening months of the war, making any locally issued emergency currency an immediate administrative problem. This particular note carries an "annulé" overstamp, applied to withdraw it from circulation before it could be redeemed under a changed occupation or simply spent into chaos. The cancellation is the document; it records a decision, not just a denomination.
