About this banknote
The Municipality of Cherchell in Algeria issued this note in 1916. During World War I, local authorities introduced emergency currency due to metal shortages affecting the production of coins. The printing was done by Imprimerie Adolphe Jourdan in Algiers to meet the urgent local need for small denominations.
The front side of the 10 centimes note features a profile of a classical figure, inscribed with "CHERCHELL ANTIQUE CÉSAREA" and "BON POUR 0,10." The reverse side shows an illustration of trees and a column, accompanied by the signature of the mayor. This emergency currency was predominantly printed in black on a white background.
