The 1 Franc banknote issued by the Bourges Chamber of Commerce in 1920, Series A, is a testament to the local French monetary issues of the early 20th century. This banknote features inscriptions in Latin.
The obverse of the banknote bears the mention of the issuing institution, "CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE BOURGES," followed by the face value "UN FRANC." It also includes the functions of the treasurer and the president, without specific names. The date of issue "M CM VXII" (1917) is visible, although the banknote was issued in 1920. The names of the artists involved in the creation of the banknote are mentioned: "J. TARDY DEL." for the designer, "LITH. Vve TARDY - PIGELET ET FILS - BOURGES" for the lithographic printer, and "H. RICHY Sc." for the engraver.
The reverse of the banknote details the conditions of exchange and reimbursement. It is specified that these vouchers are exchangeable for banknotes of the Banque de France and that they must be presented for reimbursement before December 31, 1925, unless a decision is made to extend this deadline. It is also noted that they could be replaced by metal tokens. The face value "1F" appears twice, framing a serial number "A 222240."
This banknote, with its inscriptions and mentions, reflects the economic and monetary context of the time, marked by emergency issues and specific reimbursement conditions.
