Description

This 50-centime note issued on 6 January 1916 by the Châteauroux Chamber of Commerce belongs to the first wave of emergency banknotes created to compensate for the scarcity of small change during the First World War. Printed by the Badel printing works in Châteauroux, it bears the approval of the higher authorities, guaranteeing its legitimacy. Bearing the signatures of the Treasurer and the President, this local note illustrates the solutions put in place by chambers of commerce to maintain daily trade during times of crisis.
