Korçë spent much of the First World War under French military administration — the autonomous neutral zone declared in late 1916 effectively cut the town off from any functioning national currency supply. These municipal notes were a local administrative solution, not a banking product, printed in-town by Vangheli's press rather than imported from a metropolitan printer. That makes them genuinely unusual: wartime emergency paper produced entirely within the issuing community, with the engraving credit going to a Davier whose first name remains unconfirmed in the literature.
The official stamp served as the primary security measure — modest, but adequate for a zone that existed for less than two years before French withdrawal in 1920.
