| Opmerkingen |
Sidi Bel Abbès was the garrison town of the French Foreign Legion's headquarters, and by 1916 the wartime drain on small coinage across Algeria had become acute enough that individual communes were authorized to print their own emergency paper fractionals. These municipal nécessités were a purely local fix — valid only within the issuing commune and redeemable, in theory, once the metal shortage eased.
The Oran department produced several such issues. Sidi Bel Abbès was among the more administratively active, which likely explains the multi-year validity window spanning 1916 to 1918.
