About this banknote
The "Ville de Sidi-Bel-Abbès" issued this 25 centimes note in Algeria in 1916. This local currency was introduced during World War I to address coin shortages that arose due to metal demands of the war, providing a means to facilitate small transactions within the community.
The note is printed in cream and black, featuring simple text-based designs. The front side displays "BON pour 0 fr. 25" indicating its value, while the back side includes the text "VALEUR VINGT-CINQ CENTIMES." The absence of an official Pick number suggests it was locally issued and not widely circulated beyond the region.
