Banknote France 2 Francs - Chamber of Commerce - Amiens - 1915

This 2 Francs banknote was issued by the Banque Duvette of the city of Amiens. Dated September 15, 1914, it bears the signatures of the delegates of the Chamber of Commerce of Amiens. The front of the banknote features an inscription in Latin characters indicating the face value of "DEUX FRANCS" as well as the mention of the "VILLE D'AMIENS" and the "BANQUE DUVETTE". The printer mentioned is "IMP. DU PROGRES".

The back of the banknote, also in Latin characters, displays the face value "2" repeated several times, arranged symmetrically. Specifically, we observe "2 | 2" at the top and bottom, as well as a simple "2" in the center. This repetition of the face value reinforces the identification of the banknote.

This banknote does not have a watermark. The absence of a watermark is a notable characteristic, as watermarks are often used as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting. The printing was done by the Imprimerie du progrès de la Somme, as indicated on the banknote.

The serial number of this specific banknote is N 062 719. The serial number is a unique identifier for each banknote, which makes it possible to track its production and distribution. The set of inscriptions and graphic elements present on this banknote testifies to the financial and economic practices of the period of the First World War in France.
