This banknote is part of the emergency issue context, a period when various organizations, such as chambers of commerce, municipalities, and businesses, were authorized to issue their own currency due to the shortage of official currency during World War I.

This banknote is part of a specific series, identified by the number "1". It is listed in the reference work under the code JP.62-0747, allowing collectors and numismatists to identify and classify it precisely. The issuance of this banknote is linked to the Pas-de-Calais department (62), where the Aciéries de France were located.
