Comment

Emergency money (coins) were issued by many city states to tide over the shortage of change in the aftermath of World War I.
Different agencies issued coins for their city or states apart from Corporation or Municipalities. Some examples are
1) Union of Hotels (example: SYNDICAT DES HOTELS & CAFES in REGION CARPENTRAS),
2) Union of Industries (example: UNION COMMERCIALE ET INDUSTRIELLE DE CAEN)
3) Chamber of Commerce (example: CHAMBRE SYNDICALE DES COMMERCANTS, PERPIGNAN)
4) Municipality/Corporation (example: COMITE MUNICIPAL D'APPROVISIONNEMENT
VILLE DE VANVES)

etc in their respective city states.
