| Opmerkingen |
When the German army occupied Belgium in August 1914, the national banking system effectively froze. Municipal authorities across the country began issuing their own emergency scrip — "noodgeld" — to keep local commerce moving. Ghent's issue was among the earliest, authorized within weeks of the occupation. J. Verschueren, a commercial printer with offices in both Antwerp and Brussels, handled production for several of these civic emissions simultaneously.
The 5 Franc denomination was the workhorse of daily transactions. Ghent's notes from this series are prone to horizontal fold wear along the center crease, a known weakness in Verschueren's lighter-weight stock.
