This emergency currency was created during World War I to address coin shortages and maintain local economic stability. Municipalities across French territories often issued such notes during times of crisis.
The 10 centimes banknote features a central motif comprising a crowned emblem. On the front side, the denomination "10 C" is prominently displayed.
