Chamber of Commerce of Paris · France · 1920
Emergency necessity note issued by the Paris Chamber of Commerce, showing the head of Mercury and a caduceus monogram on the front, with the city's ship emblem and a view of the Seine, Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame on the back. Issued to ease the post-war shortage of small change, it carries a notice that it could be exchanged for Banque de France notes until 1 July 1922; such chamber of commerce notes are catalogued in specialist French references (Pirot) rather than by Pick number.
