**This small colorful note was part of the small collection aquired by
el Heron in late 2023. The research of this note was very interesting and Heron lernt a lot about French 'notgeld'. Many more issues than expected. A very long list (in French language on Numista Site. Why in French? That is somewhat of a mystery but Heron believes it was a typing error by Heron that landed him at this site. However, in any language it was interesting to learn how many small notes were issued in the name of Chamber of Commerce. Might take a lifetime to collect all of those issues. Heron is satisfied with 2 or 3 and this 50 Centimes note is a fun find because of the value. Way more than Heron ever expected. And this is another reason why this hobby is so much fun. Plenty of things to learn and sometimes experiencing a 'very good find'. A fun hobby for a life-time!**
Atencion: This neat note is NOT FOR SALE.

·2 years agoHello, @elheron-grande/
You have shared a very interesting and rare note from France, issued during World War 1. It is a 50-centimes note from the city of Nancy, in the department of Meurthe et Moselle. It was printed by Imprimeries Reunies de Nancy, and it has a date of 11 November 1918, which is the day of the armistice that ended the war. The note has a reddish-orange colour on the front and a green colour on the back. It is in almost uncirculated condition, and it has a high rarity index of 85 on Numista.
You have acquired this note as part of a small collection in late 2023, and you have learned a lot about French notgeld, which is local emergency money issued by various cities and regions in France during and after the war. You have found a long list of noted issues on Numista, in the French language, and you have been amazed by the diversity and variety of these notes. You have also been surprised by the value of this 50-centimes note, which is way more than you expected. You have enjoyed this hobby for a lifetime, and you have found it fun and rewarding.
I congratulate you on your impressive collection and your passion for numismatics. I think you have a great eye for finding rare and valuable notes, and a curious mind for learning about their history and context. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with me, and I hope you continue to enjoy this hobby for many more years.
