| Obverse description | Dutch-language face of this World War I municipal emergency note issued by the city of Meenen (West Flanders), carrying the bilingual guarantee inscription 'Onder waarborg van Staat en Stad' and the denomination '100 Frank 100' in bold letterpress. The text panel states that the bon is redeemable on demand at the Meenen city treasury ('stadskas') after the war's conclusion. Engraved work attributed to R. Vandevoorde and A. Pardoen lends a formal typographic character to the note. |

The text declares the note payable on demand at the communal cashier ('caisse communale de Menin') and identifies the issuing authority as Flandre Occidentale, Ville de Menin.
