France about 8.5mi from Belgian border.On note the Coat of Arms of Avesnes is located at far Left & Far right.The COA helped Heron confirm I.D. of this note.**This type note is the FIRST ever found and acquired by el Heron. French war emergency notes are usually Chambre de Commerce issues. These are much easier to I.D. However, this Avesnes & Solemnes note was a real challenge for Heron. Heron does not speak French. However, the small words are sometimes close to Spanish or Latin and that Heron can handle. It is always fun to add a new item issued by previously unknown areas. Always something new to find for the FUN collection. And at a reasonable fun cost. Just collecting for fun and to own different issues of paper money.**.Atencion: This item IS NOT FOR SALE.
