About this banknote
The "Chambre de Commerce d'Alger" issued this 50 centimes banknote on June 25, 1919. The note was introduced during a period when local commerce chambers in Algeria issued small denomination notes to address currency shortages following World War I. These notes were temporary replacements to help facilitate everyday transactions.
The front side features the denomination in French and Arabic, surrounded by decorative elements and inscriptions indicating its exchangeability with Bank of Algeria notes. A seal and signatures of the chamber officials are also present. The note was printed by Imprimerie Jules Carbonel in Algiers, a key player in local banknote production at the time.
