Banknote France 1 Franc - Chambre de commerce - Épinal - 25-06-1921

The 1 franc banknote issued by the Épinal Chamber of Commerce, dated June 25, 1921, is a testimony to the local French monetary emissions of the time. This banknote features iconography and inscriptions specific to the issuing institution.

On the obverse, the mention "CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D’ÉPINAL" appears as a header, followed by the mention of the deliberation of the Épinal Chamber of Commerce of June 25, 1921. The face value, "UN FRANC", is clearly indicated. A serial number, such as "3.424.934", is also printed on the obverse. The name of the printer, "NANCY-PARIS-STRASBOURG_BERGER-LEVRAULT", also appears on this side.

The reverse of the banknote displays the value "1" repeated on either side of a central cartouche. In this cartouche, we find the name of the institution "CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D’ÉPINAL" as well as the year of issue "1920". An important note specifies that the banknotes in circulation are exchangeable for banknotes of the Banque de France until July 1, 1923. The value "1" is again visible on each side of this cartouche.

This banknote does not have a watermark. The printing was done by Berger-Levrault, a company based in Nancy, France.
