About this banknote
The Ville d'Aumale in Algeria issued this 5 centimes banknote on 28 September 1917. It was introduced as a local emergency currency during World War I to alleviate small change shortages. This type of scrip was common in various parts of French Algeria at the time.
The front of the note features the denomination "0,05" and the city's coat of arms, inscribed with "Ville d'Aumale (Algerie)." The note is printed in green and black. Typically, these notes were not centrally cataloged and lack a Pick number, making them intriguing local historical artifacts.
