History: At the end of the war of 14-18, there is more money. Cities and Chambers of Commerce who had the right to issue notes, particularly in the occupied zone, will have the opportunity of circulating currencies need to help the circulation of money. This type of official document responds to the same request. It does not mention or FRENCH REPUBLIC LIBERTY EQUALITY FRATERNITY, but 'CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, followed by the name of the city or region. Despite the willingness of the authorities, these pieces could never be minted in silver, the majority being aluminum.
