开个价

This French banknote has a face value of 100 francs. It was issued on November 17, 1917. It belongs to the 12th series of banknotes issued during this period.

This banknote was issued by the cities of Roubaix and Tourcoing, located in the Nord department of France. The issuance of this banknote falls within the context of the "Common and City Necessities" of the period 1914-1918. This period corresponds to World War I, where many cities and towns issued their own emergency money due to shortages of fiat currency.

The banknote shows signs of cancellation, visible by perforations. These perforations indicate that the banknote was withdrawn from circulation after use.

This type of emergency money testifies to the particular economic and social conditions of France during World War I. The issuance of local currency was a response to difficulties in supplying currency and aimed to facilitate economic transactions within local communities.

The deliberation of November 17, 1917 refers to the decision taken by the authorities of Roubaix and Tourcoing to issue this 100-franc banknote. This deliberation formalizes the creation and circulation of this local currency.
